cluster lights and parking lights stuck on

[Insane20]

driving home today i noticed my cluster lights flickered on and i didnt turn the switch to turn them on. when i get home i also notice that my parking lights are stuck on. heres the thing, when i pull the 15A tail light fues everything works as it should. the test light shows i have power on both sides of where the fuse plugs in. what is causing this?

Do you have an alarm installed?

 

[Insane20]

no i do not. i do have my boost/oil/water temp gauges back light power source wired right into the wires for the cig lighter bulb but i disconected them to try to narrow down things this could possibly be and that didnt do anything.

And no accessories, lights, ore anything powered off the tail light leads? Being triggered by a bump is weird and the fact you have power on both sides of the fuse. Do the tail lights still work when you pull the fuse?

Ya the tail light work just fine with the fuse pulled

Actually I take that back. With the fuse pulled my cluster lights and parking lights work but not my brake lights

Just trying to help but, my knowledge of the body wiring is limited. I would say the circuit is being back fed but not sure how. Are the relays good did you check them with multimeter? Your sure your car doesn't have a factory alarm? Try pushing the power lock while the door is open and then shut it, does a green security light come on in the cluster?

I unplugged my brake pedal sensor and everything went back to normal. Idk if this means those wires are messed up or if the sensor is bad

Resolved. After all that stress it just turned out the brake pedal sensor needed adjusted in. I don't know how that worked but stranger things have happened especially on dsms .
