Default Re: Brake Lights ??? Constant On!

2. With the exterior lights ON, the brake lights are on constant as if I were driving while holding in the break break.

Any ideas? Thank you.
The brake switch is actuated by the brake pedal and is mounted beside the pedal under the dash. You replaced the brake switch solenoid. Maybe the switch just needs adjustment or it is loose.Have a look it is easily seen. See page 8L-91 of the shop manual.
Start at the switch and hope it is nothing more serious like the module.
