    Brake lamp light

    My brake lamp light is on and I can't get it to turn off. I checked all the bulbs and they all work (including the third brake light). I've replaced the little box things attached to the taillights. I replaced the wire bundle and cleaned off all the connectors too. I'm pretty much at a loss now, any help would be appreciated.

    You replaced the box on all 4 tail lights?

    Do you have a spoiler?

      Is it the "brake lamp" light on the picture of the car in the guage cluster? Or, is the the "brake" light that comes on when you pull the e-brake?

      First of all, if it's the "brake" light, then your fluid is probably low.

      If it's the "brake lamp" then regardless of whether all the bulbs work or not, pull them all out, one at a time, and make sure that each bulb is the correct number. Here's why...Your ecu measures resistance across the brake lamp circuit. Every model of bulb has a certain resistance. When the ecu, or bcm, reads a resistance other than what it should be, it throws a light on the cluster. For example: A 3057 bulb and a 3157 bulb will both fit the same socket, however the resistance is not the same. Find out exactly what bulbs belong where and double check that each one is correct.

        The 2 inner tails don't have the box on them but yeah I replaced the ones on the outer tails. And no I do not have a spoiler.

        Yeah its the "brake lamp" light on the picture of the car. I will go thru my bulbs now and see if that helps...

          OK well I checked those bulbs. The inner tails have a 2057 for the brake and 1156 for the reverse. The outer tails have a 2057 for the brake and 1156 for the blinker. Is all that correct?

                According to this site, you should be running an 1157 for the turn signals. That could be your problem. The other bulbs are correct.

                  Also, not sure if this would matter, but that site also says to use a 168 bulb for the license plate lamp. I'm pretty sure a 194 bulb fits too, but not positive on that. Double check your license plate lamp while your at it.

                  Not sure what year your car is, I just punched in a 92 accord.

                    Well the 1157 is a dual filament bulb and the 1156 is a single. Since the blinker only blinks there shouldn't be any reason for a 1157 in there. Plus I checked my Mom's CB and she got 1156 in here blinkers too. I will check my license plate bulbs tho.

                              Hey how about the brake light switch? Its there up under the brake pedal. U think that could cause the light to come on?
