My son in law installed a new battery in my Hyundai Sonata 2013. Now my brake lights or interior lights won’t turn off.
what can I do to fix this?
thanks!

 

get a new son in law?

 

uhmm wondering if he put battery cables on backwards?

 

Just get rid of your son-in-law - then maybe everything will sort itself out!

 

Ok, kidding... It sounds like the brake light switch might be stuck or out of adjustment, which is a common issue after battery replacement or working near the pedal area. The brake light switch is located near the top of the brake pedal. First, try manually pulling up on the brake pedal to see if that turns off the lights. If that doesn’t work, check the switch itself to make sure it isn’t stuck or misaligned. You can try adjusting or replacing the brake light switch if needed, which is usually a simple and inexpensive fix. If the interior lights won't turn off, check to see if any of the door switches are stuck or if the dimmer switch is set to the position where the interior lights stay on. You can also try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to reset the system. Reconnect it and see if the issue persists. If these steps don't solve the problem, it might be a good idea to have a mechanic take a closer look.
