Keith--probably the brake switch is sticking shut. To confirm, jump the two
switch terminals and turn on the ignition. You should get your brake lights
without touching the brake pedal. Disconnect the jumper. Brake lights
should go out. John Trifari Golden Gate AHC.

Subject: [Healeys] Brake lights on
Listers,
Need some ideas on the solution to my problem. Recently the brake lights on
my BN7 will come on when the brake is applied and not go off. If the
ignition is turned off they will sometimes stay off and sometimes not. The
green-purple wire from the brake lights switch runs to terminal #5 on the
relay. With no brake lights I read no voltage there but once the pedal is
applied there is voltage. However, the voltage stays after the pedal is
released as do the lights. Are we looking at a faulty brake light switch
here or what?
Any thoughts?
Keith
