When I hit the brake pedal my front marker lights and dash lights come on. When I turn my headlights on all three brake lights stay on. Checked all the fuses replaced the brake switch, tried to locate a relay and could not find one. Any ideas how to fix this?

Good morning,

It sounds like the bulb or sockets in the rear are the issue. Check and make sure the bulbs are correct.

Check the sockets as well for any corrosion.

This is common with either a bad socket or ground. It is not a relay or fuse.
