Tail light running lights constantly on

[Zeus51]

Hey guys. M1009. The previous owner spliced into a lot of wiring. But I’ve gotten most of the wiring back to normal. Now that I’ve gotten the lights turning on with the dash switch and blackout lights working again. And the brake lights working. The running lights for both tail lights are constantly on, even when the key is off. But if I flip the blackout light down, they go out.

I’m looking for advice on where to start. Is there a relay somewhere that would stick on?

No relay unless the PO put it in, first thing I'd look at is make sure it's really the T/L and not the brake light switch out of adjustment or the pedal just hanging to low.

Copy that. It’s not the brake lights. If I depress the brake light switch, the running lights go out. Strange

Maybe a bad ground.

Check the brake light switch, did a PO change it? If so it could be the wrong switch or hooked up wrong. Some switches brake contact to shut off a lock up torque converter or cruise control.
