Unhappy Tail light staying on

Started out as my 2g car battery being dead and someone having to jump start the battery after work. Then when I got home and turned off the car, I notice the tail lights were still on which probably leaded to my car dieing in the first place. I checked all fuses and they all seem to be ok. I noticed that when I press the brakes, the tail lights don't brighten up indicating I'm stepping on the brakes nor when I use the turn signal does it turn on either at the front or back.

Anyone experience this before and has a solution?

Re: Tail light staying on

Did you try just unplugging the brake light switch. I have seen those go bad an stick on before. Could be something simple like that.

That was it! I just had to adjust the switch out more and that fixed the problem. Thank you everyone.
