Front Running Lights
#1

Both front signal lights go on to the running position when I put the brake on, off when I take my foot off.
This doesn't happen when the running lights are in the on position, only when the lights are off.
Everything else is fine. Anyone seen this? I've replaced all the bulbs front and back.

then i think you likely have one of two things:

a bad ground back at the rear lights - pull the carpet out of the rear - you should see a brown wire tied to a screw on the body

i suspected a possibility of a faulty relay or flasher

i'd go with the ground though

Got it, used CRC cleaner on all bulb receptacles and wiring connections, including the ground.
So don't know what fixed it, but glad its over.

yeah - it seemed like a connection issue, and given that it hit both sides, i figured the ground - glad it's worked out
