My wife has a 2000 Dodge stratus that, lately, when she pulls in the driveway and parks, the tail lights will stay on. It's not the brake lights, none of the other lights come on, just the tail lights. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My first guess is there is a short in the headlight switch allowing power to continue running to the tail lights. Have you checked it?
