This morning the wife gets in her vehicle to go to work. No Joy. Dead battery. So I push the car out of the garage, jump it with my truck and let her take my truck to work.
Get to looking and the brake lights won't turn off. I've jacked with the pedal - the brakes work fine, but between the 3 brake lights, it killed the battery. I ended up disconnecting the negative battery cable.
It also seems like they are burning even brighter. They were extremely hot to touch in the short time that I was running the car to charge the battery. But here thinking about it, that's probably normal. The brake lights are brighter than taillights.
Any ideas? I'm thinking somehow I've got some kind of a hot wire, but a) I'm not sure how that could happen, and b) Not sure what to do with it.
Thanks! for any suggestions or advice.
