Re: Tail Lights ALWAYS on (azswede1960)
You didn't say what year your car was, but if its the TAILLIGHTS, I would say the headlight switch is shorted out internally. If its the BRAKE LIGHTS, then my guess would be a bad brake light switch. I am assuming the car's wiring is in good condition.

Re: Tail Lights ALWAYS on (Greg)
It is a 1980. If I turn on signal (either right or left, that light goes out completely) and if I turn flashers on, both lights go out.
Also if I turn on headlights, the tail-lights DO NOT come on.

:iagree:
almost for sure it's the brake light switch. I had the same thing in my dad's nova, just like you explained. Try adjusting the switch, first, as that's what I did and it worked. -It wasn't even touching the pedal for some reason..?? If not that, try unplugging the switch, that should disengage the brake lights. I imagine you know where the switch is? Good luck, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
