1994 540i automatic. Brake pedal sticks when pressed, thus leaving the brake lights on. I can pull it back up with my foot and the lights go out. Even though pedal sticks, it doesn't feel as if the brakes themselves are sticking. Is this a simple thing like needing to lube the brake pedal mecha..

My 99 Caravan has the brake light come on when the vehicle turns left. Hand brake is completely off, the light comes on correctly when I ste the brake and goes off when I release it but comes on when I turn left. Any ideas? Free men own guns - www(dot)geocities(dot)com/CapitolHill/5357/

It was noticed tonight that the brake lights on our 2000 dodge grand caravan do not work. The taillights, reverse lights, turn signals, and hazards, all work. All three of the break lights, however do not work. The fuses all check out (lights, ABS, and ABS backup). Either all 3 of the bulbs burned..

« All 3 bulbs? It seemed unlikely all 3 bulbs would burn out unless they are in series instead of parallel. »
« It happens, especially if you don't have your vehicle serviced regularly. If you do have these things checked regularly then yes it is the bulb. Typically those brake lite switches are designed to N.. »

Brake lights work until the headlights come on?
