'92 Apollo, brake and the parking lights come on?

[Balfizar]

Hi guys

Got a problem with a '92 holden apollo. Hit the brakes and the parking lights come on.

Got a workshop manual and I initially think its the control module at fault but not being familiar with toyota

yet and finding it is another problem. Possibly a common problem so thought I would ask the experts or those of

you that have suffered the same problem.

Any help appreciated.

cheers

check that your tail/break lamps arent stuffed and shorting out.

Had the tail light globes out, thats not the problem, I think its in the daylight running relay/switch/module

where ever it is .

Are they dull when both illuminated?

Yes, and the centre rear window brake light comes on with just parkers on.

I think daylight running relay has a fault, but not being familiar, I can't find it.

Forget the daytime running relay, those symptoms sound like a bad earth or a short.

Thanks, guys

2 x dud globes, one easy to spot (black) the other looked perfect but had an internal short.

all good.
