Saturn Aura brake lights malfunctioning, staying on while driving and turning off when stopping on Saturn Aura

Some Saturn Aura owners report experiencing brake light malfunctions, such as the lights staying on while driving and turning off when stopping. A common issue is a failed brake light switch, which can cause the lights to remain illuminated even when the brake pedal is not pressed. Additionally, some owners notice that the brake lights engage when the accelerator is depressed and turn off when the brake is applied, indicating a reverse operation that can be unpredictable and dangerous. In cases where the brake warning light is illuminated, it may signal a major brake component failure, often linked to pressure loss and a "mushy" brake pedal feel due to low brake fluid levels. If the brake light switch appears to be functioning correctly but no lights illuminate, it is advisable to inspect the wiring harness for frayed wiring or circuit issues. To address a stuck brake light activation switch, owners may try recreating the "stuck on condition" by applying the brakes repeatedly or consider replacing the switch. These issues highlight the importance of prompt diagnosis and resolution to ensure safe operation of the vehicle's brake lights.
