brake lights need key on to work
Permalink  
 


On both my 2007 truck and 2009 Impala the brakelights do not work unless the key is on. I don't know about other makes but when did this change?

I would think sometime before 1957 because my truck is the same .

Unless you are talking about tail lights ? Then the newer ones would be controlled through a delay module and the fob

I talked to the service rep today and GM did that for many years to prevent brake switches which stick from draining the battery. I checked out some new cars and they work when key is off.
