Break lights stays on all the time - 1998 Cadillac Catera

Normally all parking lights are controlled by the light switch. First turn turn on the parking lights and second turn turns on the head lights.

Are you sure it is not your break lights staying on? if this is your break lights - look at break pedal for break light switch staying on or not adjusted correctly. Does your car battery gets drained from your break lights staying on?

The light comes on for the hand brake and low brake fluid in the brake reservior.

if there coming on at the same time look for shorts in wiring ,corrosion at plug, the same applys if lights aer staying on possible short in brake light swich

try getting under your car in the rear some times the e brake cable sticks spray some wd40 on it and pull it should unlock it see this were I work all the time hope this helps

I had this same problem. I turned off my car and the brake lights stayed on. I looked under the dash and found that the brake pedal, when not pressed, barely touched the brake light switch, which controls whether the brake lights are on or off. Initially though I just wedge a thin piece of adhesive foam between the pedal and switch, which worked fine for several months until I found the time to properly fix it. My brake light switch was adjustable so i eventually adjusted the nuts on each side of the brake switch holding it to the pedal bracket so that the brake pedal pushed in the white brake light switch when released. Hope this helps!

You'll need to have the computer scanned for trouble codes, and some code readers will not access body computers.

The brake light switch on these trucks was a poor design. Its mounted on the brake pedal. Look under there and bend the bracket that holds the brake light switch slightly and things will start working again. When these were new we used to just grab the brake pedal and pull it toward the drivers seat really hard and let go. This fixed your problem 99% of the time.

Sounds like the alternator is bad

Some vehicles have the ABS light come on when it is time to change your breaks. Have a look at them, front and back. Also, check your Brake fluid level and your lines.

theres a rubber stop on the break pedal
once they get old the crack & break
you can use a nut & blot to replace the rubber stop
