My truck decided to do some weird stuff today, and I need some input.
I went outside this morning and looked at my truck and everything was fine. I stepped outside this afternoon and noticed all 3 brake lights were on. (Both tails and the third light on the cab) It hadn't been driven since last night and nothing seemed to be wrong then.
I messed with the brake pedal and it didn't make any difference. Then I noticed that my trailer brake controller was lit up even when I didn't have my foot on the brake. It was set at 6 on the dial, but was reading at 13, which is the highest setting. It has never lit up unless the brake was pressed before. When I wiggled the wires leading into the controller, the numbers on the display changed and the tail lights got slightly brighter. I followed the wires to the harness and unplugged it, but the tail lights stayed on. I did drive it a little bit, and the brakes don't seem to be dragging or doing anything out of the ordinary. It seems to just be something with the lights.
I disconnected the batteries so I don't kill them. Any ideas what is causing this?
