GM Chevy Malibu - Brake Lights On With Brake Pedal Off / Up - Brake Lights Turn Off When Push Pedal Down / On

Typically bad grounds... The pictures, without explanation, tell one nothing other than you unplugged a connector and replugged it in.

Without an explanation of the problem's solution, no one will find it terribly useful.

Well, if I get a Malibu and have a similar problem, it'll surely help. Thanks.

Good job, and thanks.

Usually when something like this is published, there is a lot of "static" about the use of lubricants on terminals like this:

- A dielectric grease does NOT conduct electricity.. A conductive grease can. You normally use conductive greases in special applications where electrical charges need to be leaked off across a bearing or some other surface.

- In this case, it doesnt make too much difference which sort of grease you apply...its application is to keep oxygen or other oxidizing agent away from the terminal, and to inhibit fretting of the metal surfaces.
