Heya,
The brake light on my terrano is always on, the one in the rear, one of the bulb is bust, could the fix be as simple as replacing the broken bulb or is there something more sinister happening here?
Peace

Re: Terrano 90 brake light is always on
Sounds like what you're describing is one brake light doesn't work at all, and other is constantly on?
Replace bulb to see if that fixes not working one.
Check nothings caught up on brake pedal holding it down slightly, if not then unplug brakelight switch (its on brake pedal mount).
If that don't make them go out, theres bigger issues.
If it does, try adjust switch. And if no success with adjustment then fit replacement switch.
And a good tip, when you're out in town next, find a shop window that reflects and check ya lights are all working (and you can tell how far brake has to be depressed for lights to come on). Could save ya a ticket, or being rear ended if brakelights come on only with lots pedal pressure
