Tail lights stay on, brake lights not working

Awesome. At least it was an easy fix haha. Nice work.

Yeah that would explain cruise control not engaging a few weeks ago.

But how would it affect the brake lights and cause the tail lights to stay on?

Maybe a fail safe switch so if the other one fails then the brake lights still work? I do recall mention of it on the forum previously but without having a D40 I can't really tell you to be honest hehe.

Another fantastic idea from the good plebs at Nissan

Yep sounds about normal for them. Like only having a door switch for the interior light on the driver's door of the D22 haha. Maybe that money they saved there payed for 2 brake switches in the D40 lol.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!

The second switch above the brake switch was out of adjustment. Popped it out, gave it a quick spray of Ez Glide and popped it back in, lights have gone off and turn on only when i turn them on.

Just wanna say a massive thank you to all of you guys for helping me out. Legends i really appreciate it

That was what happened to me when I owned a VL Calais Turbo


I had replaced the Brake master Cylinder and had lifted up the brake pedal to put the pin through the connecting rod and had pushed the brake switch out of position ,
I only found out when my Cruise control wouldn't work some weeks latter I must of been driving around with my brake lights on for weeks .

That's what i'm thinking now, and not one bloody person bothered to even give me yell at the lights or anything.

Common courtesy on the roads has vanished these days. I always try and pull up next to people if i can and let them know a light is out or what not.
