Hi,
My battery in my car was drained due to my tailights/brake lights not going off. The headlight/tailight switch was not on in the car and as I live alone I couldn't really check to see if it was the brake lights. I tried pulling fuses for the lights first and they stayed on. The only thing I could do to get them off was to disconnect the battery cable. Any idea what would be causing this? Thank you for your time.

Check that the brake light switch mounted at the top of the brake pedal is not holding on, start here.
