Some Nissan Maxima owners report experiencing issues with tail lights that won't turn off, which may be caused by several factors. These include problems with the tail light fuse, as a blown fuse could indicate an underlying issue. Additionally, some owners find that a malfunctioning brake light switch, possibly due to a broken or shifted plastic stopper, can keep the brake lights engaged even when the vehicle is off. Corroded contacts in the bulb holders at the rear of the vehicle may also contribute to the problem. Furthermore, issues with the light switch itself can cause the tail lights to remain illuminated, even without keys in the ignition. In some cases, underlying electrical issues may require a professional inspection to diagnose and resolve the problem effectively.
