I purchased a brakelight switch today and will install it tomorrow night and hopefully that will take car of the issue. The orange tip may be getting stuck or the sender may be going bad.
The dealer quoted me $210 which includes 1 hr labor to replace this part. I'll change it myself.  |
Well it looks like you are going to beat the unnecessary towing and labor costs which is what I was hoping for! Here are some of those links that lead me to suggesting to check the brake fuse and switch:
