So, my brake lights are stuck on, along with my ABS light, which i assume is tripped because the lights themselves are stuck on.
I took the brake switch off and checked it with my ammeter, and for some reason there seems to be continuity between the male terminals on the switch, without the spring pressed in.
I assume it works like a motorcycle brake switch and when you compress the spring (by pushing the brake pedal) you connect the wires (in the case, green and green/red) and bingo, brakes illuminate.
I found that disconnecting the wires from the switch turns the lights out, and considering there is continuity between the terminals on the switch at all times, by connecting the wires back to it, they must go on (which they did).
Anyone have any other ideas? The only other wires in the circuit are the brown one, which should be okay considering all other lights work properly, and white one that goes to the main switch... I hope its not that one.
yes, the fuse is okay...
