Some Hyundai Elantra owners report experiencing repeated failures of the rear brake lights despite multiple replacements. These issues may stem from problems with the LED brake lights, which can fail due to faulty brake light switches or wiring harnesses. Additionally, a malfunctioning brake light switch can lead to misalignment and repeated failures. Electrical problems, such as damaged fuses, burnt-out bulbs, or worn wiring harnesses, can cause the brake lights to illuminate unexpectedly even when not braking. High resistance in the circuit or faulty grounds may also contribute to these failures. In cases where none of the brake lights are functioning, owners may encounter circuit malfunctions that require troubleshooting from the fuse box to the brake pedal. To prevent further issues, it is recommended that owners inspect these components and address any identified problems.
