my girlfriend drives a 1998 ford escort
yesterday she noticed that her tail lights and stop light in her back window were still on even after she turned the car off. i made sure her brake pedal was completely pulled up and inspected with her fuses.
when i take the tail light fuse out nothing happens but when i take the stop light fuse out both the tail lights and stop light go off. the only problem is none of the lights work without that fuse installed either.
what can cause this to happen? and will it be expensive to fix it?
