These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Pelican Parts: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi boys. I am trying to help a friend with his car.Hi battery was dead after jumping through the fuse box to get to the battery to open the hood ,which is now replaced, the brake and back up lights stay on.Anybody has a idea why and what to do? Thanks for any help. Ivan

POST 3Original post

Oh, we are reading this, but have no good ideas, really. Since you had to take the cover off the fuse box, I would check to make sure everything is in the right place. Can you verify it is the brake light that is on and not the driving light? Until you get an answer, your friend should pull the fuse for each of those things so that they don't drain the battery.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanx,the car will be arriving on Friday,yes my plan is to isolate One fuse at a time.The boy on the other end said The back up and tail lights stay on.I will set on Friday Ivan

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The has arrived Florida.from CA..,if you would shutoff the car and lock the car, back up and brake lights stay on. So I disconnect the fuse 6and 7 drove it a little but now even if I put the fuses back no brake lights.Got an appointment on Monday for diagnostics....will know. Later Ivan

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well,now by I am playing more with,found out that fuse no 4 in !ineC is just for brake lights.will put back in 6,7 and see...? Also it could just a coincidence and the pedal switch is bad.. To be continued on Monday Ivan

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looks like my theory worked.I left all 3fuses out over night and today I have at least the 3rd light working.Could be that the complicated el. System is reset by itself? Ivan

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Update..went to a dealer today,problem was the big rains in LA recently.The floor was full of water,drains were plugged up.The module under the driver's seat was kaput with that water there and the car sitting like that for 2month..all works now.. Ivan

POST 10Original post

Oh, that makes total sense. Thanks for sharing. I'm beginning to think anything that seems illogical is the module under the seat.
