Here’s a weird one: your brake lights won’t turn off even when you’re not touching the pedal. This is usually a tiny plastic switch under the dashboard, near where your foot rests. It gets worn out or slips, so the car thinks you’re always braking. Imagine the confusion for the driver behind you!

To fix it, stick your head under the steering wheel (use a phone flashlight—I once used a glazed donut, don’t do that). You’ll see a little plunger-like switch that hits the brake pedal arm. If it’s pulled out too far, push it back in until you hear a click. If it’s broken, you can buy a new one at any auto parts store for under $10. Yes, ten dollars. That’s less than a fancy coffee.
