Not sure if this already posted. my tail/brake lights won't turn off. is their anything i can do/check on my own before i bring it in to a mechanic? where i live the closest mechanic is 30 minutes away. :( I did call the mechanic and he said that it either a stuck switch or the brake pedal is misaligned.
