Why are my "Pontiac" tail lights always on?

Why are my "Pontiac" tail lights always on?

Post by V8Mikie »

I noticed this the other day, they are on, all the time, day or night, no matter what. I think the headlight switch is a little messed up so I am switching it out tomorrow. Any other ideas?

I'm pretty sure the PONTIAC light is supposed to be on whenever the car is on. Doesn't matter if the headlights are on or not.

That's correct. They're on when the ignition is on.

Really? I guess I never really noticed. I think I noticed now because I replaced the old ones with brighter ones that rodney sells.

I really like that part of the car, sets it apart from most of today's cars.

This morning I had that problem. I saw it was black, and thought it came from Africa or something :scratch:
