I HAVE A 1980 KZ440A LTD, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ALWAYS ON. THE RELAYS, WIRING AND BULB LOOK FINE. I HAVE KNOW IDEA WHAT TO DO. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH BLINKS UNTIL I PRESS THE BRAKES THEN ITS SOLID. IF ANYONE HAS COME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM OR HAS ANY IDEA PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

THANKS!!!

The owner's manual should have info about the brake indicator light. The flashing indicator light means that there is a problem w the brake light circuit or the brake light itself is faulty.

Verify that the bulb is good. Turn the ignition switch to ON: the tail light should come on; apply the brake - the tail light should get brighter.

Honestly I'm a little in barest about it. Ok so I checked the bulb, wiring, everything, but when i checked the bulb i just looked at it. So yesterday I wondered if the tail light socket was all corroded, I took out the bulb and it felt apart. The inside of the 2057 bulb "blow up". I REPLACED THE BULB AND ALL WAS GOOD :)
