the brake lights on my '91 eighty-eight stay on after i turn off the lights and turn off the engine. anyone have an idea? Is this an electrical problem or a brake problem of some kind.

Hi. It sounds like an electrical problem. Your brake light switch may have moved to the point your pedal isn't turning it off. Try pulling back on your brake pedal and see if it shuts off. ( I am assuming your switch is at the pedal.) Could be a simple adjustment, or a fauly switch. Good luck, and let us know. Jim.

Hi. How did you make out on the brake lights? If a reply helps with the problem, or if you found out something else, posting the solution may help someone in the future. This forum has helped me in that way. Just curious. Thanks, Jim.

thank you. did the trick. the gizmo popped out of the diddlybob. pulled back break pedal while pushing it in and worked like a charm.

That isn't called a diddlybob, it's a whatchamacallit.
