67 GTO rear lights stuck on

Post by Nutts » Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:58 pm

Hi there, any idea why my rear lights (all 4 bulbs) on my 67 GTO would stay on after the engine is turned off? Main lights switch is off, front lights are not on. All 4 lights come on when brake pedal is selected, could it be that switch that has failed or stuck on? Disconnected the battery and reconnected and they're still on.

Also the solenoid on the starter seemed to stick also. Not sure if related or not.

Thanks

Yes I suspect you're right. Do you know if the brake switch accessible in the driver footwell or is it elsewhere?

I took the brake fuse out and the lights went out. Do know anywhere in UK that might sell the switch, or is it another import job?
