Well Guys, you are probably not going to believe this.....

So DH started to troubleshoot my continuous brake lights on issue. Discovered the brake lights were ONLY continuously ON when the headlights are also ON. *Hummmm*.... So off he went to troubleshoot some more.... and guess what he figured out???? Guess!! You won't believe it.....











Give up yet???






The brake light/tail light BULB ....... well, one of the two filaments burned off and ended up landing on the other filament, thus creating a "connection" or bridge so to speak. So the two lights continued to work "normally"--well sort of....., but was constantly ON when the headlights were ON.... so in essence it was a "short in the system"!!!! (I will try to post a pic of the bulb if I can get a good pic of it....)





I just hope that maybe that is the reason for the Rear ABS light to be on too..... keep fingers and toes crossed for us!!! It's getting cold again around here and DH really doesn't want to do major repairs in freezing cold!!!
