Changed the front brake pads on your 2003 Dodge Durango Now rear lights remain all time How do you fix problem?

Here are a few potential causes and solutions for the rear lights remaining on after replacing the front brake pads on your 2003 Dodge Durango:

1. Faulty Brake Light Switch: The brake light switch is responsible for activating the brake lights when the brake pedal is depressed.

- Check the brake light switch located near the brake pedal for any damage or misalignment.

- If the switch is damaged or not functioning correctly, replace it.

2. Electrical Issue:

- Inspect the wiring and electrical connections related to the brake lights and taillights. Ensure there are no loose or damaged wires.

- Check for any blown fuses or relays related to the taillights in the fuse box. Replace any faulty fuses or relays.

3. Brake Pedal Adjustment:

- Ensure the brake pedal is adjusted correctly. If the brake pedal is too high, it might not be activating the brake light switch properly. Adjust the brake pedal if necessary.

4. Taillight Assembly Issue:

- Inspect the taillight assembly for any issues such as loose bulbs or faulty sockets.

- Make sure the taillight bulbs are properly seated and functioning.

5. Faulty Wiring or Short Circuit:

- A short circuit in the electrical system could cause the rear lights to remain on.

- Check for any exposed or damaged wires that may be causing a short circuit.

If you are unable to identify or fix the issue on your own, it's recommended to consult a qualified mechanic or auto electrician to further diagnose and resolve the problem.
