Land Rover Repair: Brake lights stay on!, water ingress, corrosion


Question
How do I get my brake lights to turn off. As soon as I turn the ignition to the on position the brake lights are on. Help Me!!!!

Answer
Hi Kevin,

could be the brake pedal switch located on the pedal itself.  They have been known to fail.  

BEFORE you replace the brake pedal switch, check the rear brake lights to determine if either are burnt out.  Its possible that the bulb, the wiring OR the bulbholder itself may need replacing and that's why the lights remain on.  I've seen a fused bulbholder due to water ingress and corrosion do this same problem.  Remove the bulb and examine the condition of the bulbholder interior.

Most likely, its the pedal switch itself.
Best of luck,
