Under any circumstances would letters appear on the instrument panel telling you that “the brake light is draining the battery”?

Hi,

I have to be honest. I have never seen or heard of such a warning. I've been in the business for 40 years. However, anything is possible. Have you ever noticed the brake lights staying on when you exit the vehicle?

Tell me exactly what is happening. Also, if that message is showing up, could you take a pic of it and upload it for me to see?

Again, let me know as much as you can. Anything that you feel could help me diagnose the issue will be helpful.

Take care,
Joe
