Hi JD,
Are you saying your stop lights at the tail lights are on, or a dash warning light, and only with the ignition switch, switched off?

You are describing the alternator idiot light that stays lit
because it's diodes are bad and the battery is lighting it running backwards though it to ground. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O http://www.billhughes.com/ jd wrote: > > When I turn the jeep off, the brake "idiot" light stays lit til the battery > dies.... > > Thanks, > John |

Hi John,
Yes, and look for a connection between it and the battery that could have been disconnected while the engine was running. That's what pops the diode, or an accidental jumper cable reversal.

I would unplug it to see if the light goes out first.
