Check the parking brake light fuse. Have you recently replaced a brake light? If you use the wrong globe it can create bridges/bypasses in the lighting circuit and do all sorts of weird things.

Sounds like you might have a caliper that is stuck and is not fully disengaging. If it is in the rear then you may have a bad rear caliper. Twoo things you can try. One is to crawl under the ca and adjust the tension two nuts on the emergency brake line. If that does not resolve the problem then remove the back tire and try to spin the drum or rotor whichever you may have. If it does not spin then try adjusting the e brake cable more if it still does not respond then you need to do a brake rebuild. Also does it pull while it is dragging? If it is then you will need to rebuild the brakes no matter what.

You can adjust the switch by putting your thumbs on either side of the switch plunger and pushing toward the brake lever. The switch shaft will ratchet into the new position which is will then be depressed by the brake lever when it is the brake is not being depressed.

This may sound dum but its been done a few times and is a simple mistake , the bleeder screw is up top, with the caliper on the bleeder screw should be up top, if not then calipers are on the wrong side, it sounds like air in the system, also you pumped the pedal up to push out the piston so pads hit rotor after bleeding,i dont see anything else, if the pedal is good with pinched lines at caliper then it got to be calipers are wrong or on the wrong side and the bleeder is not atop caliper,also you bleed the rear also? these trucks and cars use left caliper and rt rear on one system of the master and rt front and left rear on one side, let me know about the caliper, heres a picture to show you what i mean. hope this helpsjohnjohn2_23.jpg

Check your emergency brake. Make sure it isn't partially pressed in. Try unplugging the switch to the emergency brake and see if the light goes out; if it does the switch is bad.

1999 jeepcherkee brake lights stick

Check your Brake Light Switch, more than likely it is broken. It is located

UNDER THE DASH
1/2 the way up the BACK SIDE of the BRAKE PEDAL

My brake will not shut off unless I take the fuse out. Sometimes when I put the fuse back in when the lights are not on but as soon as I push on the brake the lights stay on.

Replace your brake light switch. There are two different types but I believe you have the one that is under the dash. the arm of the brake pedal pushes against a button type switch. This switch has a bit of adjustment that can be made by moving it closer or farther away from the brake arm.

the other type of switch is hydraulic in nature and screws into the master brake cylinder, but again I don't think this is what you have.

The brake lights on my 06 kia sedona will not turn off

Look above your brake pedal and you will see your brake switch up along your brake pedal arm. It will either be between the brake arm and the firewall so when you brake it pushes the switch in. Or it will be between the dash and the brake arm so when you brake it pulls the switch out. Most likely this switch needs to be replaced

No brake lights

Check the brake light switch. It should be located under the dash by the arm of the brake pedal. When you push the pedal down with your foot it activates the switch. The switch can be tested with an ohm meter or multimeter. If defective, it will need to be replaced. Hope this helped and good luck.
