Back up lights come on when applying brakes

When I apply my brakes my reverse lights come on. What could be the problem? I have also been told that the circuit board is bad and needs to be replaced because my passenger brake light is dim and my blinker goes normal speed then goes faster speed, as if the blinker bulb is bad but the bulbs are good. What could the problem be?

TIPM - totally integrated power module . Chrysler has a recall on this part for some of it's vehicle's . Chrysler , dodge an jeep . Looking at wiring diagram's ( so you know what wire's to check ) Using a DMM- digital multi-meter an checking electrical circuits for affected systems (voltage Drop testing ) , Checking for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes , checking for TSB'S - technical service bulletins ( from maker ) .This is how a professional tech would diganose . Your best bet mite be to take it to a qualified repair shop .Dealer .

SOURCE: brake lights

try replacing the brake light switch which is located at the brake pedal itself. just look for wires at the brake pedal arm

SOURCE: 2001 dodge neon tail lights inop

looking at your schematics and , you say tail lights don't work , you didn't mention if front parking lights and license plate lights are working , they all come from the same source , a black /yellow wire , a good clue if front work and rear don't , please advise .if fronts work then you have a open circuit somewhere between junction S118 (near breakout for left headlamp) and rear sockets.

SOURCE: Jerks while applying brakes

It sound s reasonable. Essentially besides probably having worn brake pads,the brake rotors are probably warped giving you that brake pulsation . .Beware that the rear brakes can also cause pulsation, so be sure a thorough diagnosis is performed

SOURCE: My brake lights do not come on only the hatch brake light.

Look up above your brake pedal and you should see a switch connected to the brake arm. This is your brake switch that controls your brake lights

SOURCE: 2007 dodge caliber brake lights

This could be a fuse, the third brake sometimes is fused sperate than the others or the most common is the wire is broken at the brake light switch, this switch is located on the top of brake pedal on a bracket, if you follow the pedal up to top you will see the switch, hope this helps.

My brakes squeal only in reverse with the brake lightly applied to roll back slow.

Brakes can be strange sometimes. There may be a "Hard Spot" on the brake shoe/pad or even on the drum/rotor. You may need to have the drum/rotor turned. Sometimes they can sand or rough up the shoe/rotor to resolve the issue. Make sure the wear sensors are not damaged or alignment.

03 Durango- rear tail lights. All new bulbs. New housing. Reverse light doesn't work, blinker flashes fast when brakes applied (normal with brake not applied), with headlights on brake lamp only lights...

No, your brake lamps should only work when brake pedal is activated. Your headlamp switch shouldn't have anything to do with brake lites.
Sometimes if there is a faulty ground, your lamps may act weird?
Did I miss-understand your post?

When moving auto gear shift from drive to reverse, it locks in neutral. By pumping brake for some time, it will eventually release. Whats the problem?

It may be your brake switch on the brake pedal. Back up to a wall and apply the brake. Look behind you at the wall while doing this to see the reflection of your brake lights. If they do not come on when you apply the brake every time, then it is almost certainly your brake switch. Usually very easy and inexpensive to fix on most cars. I hope this helps.

Rear brakes squeal when car is braking in reverse

I believe you have drum brakes on the back. Not sure. If so, it probably is the automatic adjuster is frozen. This comes into play when you go backwards and apply the brakes. It is used so that the emergency brake is in proper alignment, that is, it only takes a few clicks before the emergency brakes start being applied. If there were no adjuster, as the brakes go old, you would lose the emergency brakes entirely.

Reverse light on when brake is applied

Manny, I am confused too. When you apply brake, brake light should light up. There is no connection with reverse lights which have no color. Have you checked the manual? If you can't find solution, you may have to show it to a good mechanic because operating a vehicle this way could give wrong signals to traffic behind.

2004 ford taurus violently shakes in drive when break is applied (like at lights), not in park or reverse.

check for vacuum leak at the brake booster with brakes applied . Put on the hand brake and take the foot off the brake to check this . Run fault codes to find any faulty sensors.

Reverse lights turn off when brake is applied

This would normally mean a loose earth wire to the light , but check the bulbs as well as a bulb with one filament gone can short or earth back through another circuit You can jump a small wire from the chassis to the light assembly body to check
