If your brake pedal turns on....

....your parking lights, fog lights, headlight buzzer: and you can't find the short, listen.

Check your tail light bulbs. Someone may have inadvertantly put a single filament bulb in one of them. You need a dual filament bulb. If you have a single filament in, it causes a short when you step on the brake pedal.

I know a couple people on here were having the same problem I was, so this is just to help you all out. It took a little research on here to figure out, but that's what the is for.

I had something weird like that going on in my car. If I helf the brake pedal, the fogs would come on. Nothing else. And if I had the fogs on, hit the pedal then flipped the light switch off--the lights would stay on until I lifted my foot. Wierd.
