406 brake lights

This is controlled by a simple switch normally located on the brake pedal some where. It is likely that this has failed or has jammed on. Try disconnecting it and it should make your lights go off. You will then need to get another of course.

get under the dash and spray wd40 at it it has probly got dirt on it.

Mine stuck on after an emergency stop, it turned out to be the nylon switch holder in the footwell pushing the switch onto the peddle all the time. It just needed pushing back into place. You do need to get well in there to figure it out though, (large people need NOT apply).
