1964 brake lights always stay on

[vbudwick]

For some reason the brake lights are staying on. key in off position, on position, and driving. recently replaced the stop light switch relay, master cylinder and stop light switch off M.C. unplugged the stop light switch and it still stays on. If I unplug the relay it does go off fyi. Any help is appreciated in tracking this down

Use the four-digit model year in your subject in future posts. Revised.

You may need to check the wiring for the relay.

Yes heading there next. Funny thing is that the old relay was a bit melted. I will be curious to see if my new one looks the same now. Pic of old one attached

Fortunately the wires look to be in good shape. When installing the new one, get a tube of dielectric grease and Shimere the connections. yah it looks like it was done.

well after purchasing a new brake light relay assembly from Ecklers, I believe the new relay was bad.
I wired another relay I just happen to have around and lights work just fine.
question some things bought from Ecklers...
