Brake light and right tail light stay on.

Hey guys hope everyone is well!
So like the title says my brake light stays on all the time as well as my right brake tail light. The left brake light does not come on so I assume the bulb went out. Is this a "safety" feature to let me know the bulb has gone bad or is this a broken brake switch?


Thanks,
Roo

Sounds like your BCM...BODY CONTROL MODULE...has failed....usually from getting wet. It is on the passenger side front interior...by the passangers feet...

UPDATE: So i checked a few things, turns out my left brake light was burnt out but that wasn't the culprit. The brake switch looked like it had been popped out a little bit so I just snapped it back into place and it's working great again....

...I learn something new everyday with my mini...
