Brake light switch broken

When the brake light switch is broken, you can recognize it by a number of symptoms. The first and most common symptom is the brake lights not turning on when braking. When the brake light switch is broken, it can no longer activate the brake lights. When you check the brake lights and they all don't come on, it's unlikely that the lights broke at the same time. In the case of two failing brake lights, a brake light switch failure is likely. Another symptom is the brake lights staying on. A faulty switch can cause a short circuit in the system, causing the brake lights to remain on even without braking. When the brake lights stay on, the battery can also be discharged faster and the brake lights will fail faster.
