Default 96 disco brake light??

I just replaced my combination switch because it burned out. And now that the new one is in, my brake lights are constantly running like my foot is on the brake when day time lights are on?? Any ideas?

What "combination" switch? There's a brake light switch and a cruise switch down there. The brake switch has a plunger that can be adjusted. You may need to adjust that plunger out.

The combination switch that controls the overall function of the lights on the vehicle. It's on the steering colum obviously and it turns all of the lights on. But when it does it makes my brake light malfunction? Like my brakes are on? My emergency brake isn't engaged and I tried to adjust the thing you mentioned but t didn't make a difference. And ideas?

Ahhh ok. Yeah the turn signal stalk(combination switch) is known to go bad.

I thought you said wiper for some reason. But I just replaced my combination (turn signal) switch so I'm not sure if maybe it's something electrical?

Hmmmmm, IDK. Maybe verify you have the right bulbs in the sockets?
