tail lights always on

Postby witcher » Sat Jun 19, 2010 7:26 pm

My mitsu is giving me fits. recently tail lights are always on, just noticed this sad fact after it made my battery flat. also the fuse was gone 2 times. I am guessing some wire is torn so it connects creating bridge. when I remove fuse they quite naturally go off. Otherwise lights on or lights off the rears are always on. Front lights are normal. Any ideas folks????
