Lincoln MKZ cranks without brake pedal pressed and tail lights remain on on Lincoln MKZ

Some Lincoln MKZ owners report experiencing issues such as the vehicle cranking without the brake pedal being pressed and tail lights remaining on. This can indicate a malfunction in the brake system, which may prevent the engine from turning over properly. Additionally, some owners encounter a no-crank problem, where the engine does not start due to potential issues with the internal control module or being stuck in park. Furthermore, the persistent illumination of the tail lights could signal an electrical issue, risking battery drainage and further starting complications. To resolve these issues, owners are advised to check the brake system, conduct diagnostic testing for fault codes, inspect the electrical system for wiring problems, and seek professional assistance if the issues continue.
