93 rolla - tail lights won't turn off

[island cruiser]

hi all,

just got my car on the road again and the brake lights stay lit with key out now.

looking under the dash at the switch at top of the pedal it seems to be engaging as it should. any ideas? for the moment i disco'd batt ground...

which fuse is for the lights? it would be easier to pull that than fussing with the battery everytime I park - the cover to the kickpanel box is missing and my Haynes is pretty useless.

mahalo

disconect the brake switch...see if that turns them off?
Or for a quick fix disonect the power to the brake lights at the globe and use the parkers for brakes during the day?
my ae92 has the main fuse box on the right side of car and the fuse is 15 amp and on the top rear most...hope this helps
i reakon its the brake swictch...

my brake switch broke and did that a couple years back. The cheap replacement from Autozone is a cheap piece of crap, but it works. if you have moneyt burn, maybe OEM would be better. It just did not line up as nice and was slightly different. Also crawling up under the dash realy trul sucks donkeys

you said it. once I have time to remove the lower dash parts i'll mess with the switch.

but what fuse should i pull for the lights in the meantime?

Other bulbs will run on that circut, I would just disconnect the battery when ever you park the car.

Or failing that remove the offending bulbs.
