Unless your car has been modified, or is faulty, the brake lights will go on when you touch the brake, wherever you're driving at that moment. Or are you perhaps thinking about the fog lights? These should be put on when visibility is reduced.
they are not brake lights they are fog lights and they turn on because it is for the car behind to see you
What about them? Update?
Um... Aren't all brake lights in the back of a car?
Have you checked all the lights? Reverse lights, tail lights and brake lights?
There is a shifter interlock switch on the brake pedal which also controls the brake lights
On the back of a car there are tail lights, turn signals, and brake lights. Cars also have back up lights that tell people when the car is in reverse.
If you step on the brake pedal , yes
No , the rear brake lights do not turn on when you use your parking brake , just the brake light on your dash is supposed to come on
Reflections in the car behind when you stop at traffic lights.
If the brake lights stay on when the car is not running on most vehicles, including the 1994 Dodge Intrepid, there is probably a short somewhere in the wiring to the brake lights. The first place to investigate this problem would be the wires along the firewall that control the brake lights. Also, check the brake light switch above the brake pedal.
Driving with no brake lights can be very dangerous. If it is dark outside, a car behind you, may not see you. Having no brake lights will not alert any cars that you are slowing down or stopping.
