Greetings, everyone.

I have received much assistance so far, so I intend to contribute to this matter as well.

The brake lights remain always illuminated. Additionally, do the front side lights illuminate while the brake pedal is engaged? Installed a new brake pedal switch, which did not fix the issue. Water damage is evident in the rear bulb holders, as the pins exhibit corrosion. Could this be the reason? Is there anything more I should verify initially?

Thank you beforehand.

As you are aware, the rear bulb holders have sustained water damage. Is the sealing gasket intact? I recommend addressing that issue before anticipating positive results from a new pedal switch.

Having previously experienced a complete failure of brake lights in one of these vehicles, it can be quite alarming to realize this while driving. Ensure you understand how to install the new switch—consult online resources, as the updated pedal switches and the original versions require different installation methods. Incorrect installation may result in the brake lights remaining illuminated.

Are you certain that you have installed the correct bulbs? Installing a single bulb in a two filament socket causes a short circuit to the side light circuit, resulting in the brake lights activating the side lights, while the rear lights remain invisible, just the front lights are illuminated.

I have examined the bulb, and the ones present possess simply a single connection at the base. Are you aware of the appropriate sort of bulbs they should utilize? Could you provide the numerical data, please? Thank you

I am not quite certain, my friend. I believe I visited Autobulbs Direct to ascertain the appropriate bulb specifications and then purchased that kind from Euro. I believe it is worth my investigation.

It ought to have been identical to the one you removed.

They were not entirely effective, leaving me uncertain about their correctness.

Which year or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?

2009. I apologize; I thought I had responded previously.
