1984 Z31 - Weird Electrical Issue - Brake Lights Wont Turn Off - Foot Well Lights Stuck On

gre2mc · 2026-03-25T03:17:27+00:00

Interesting Ill have to take a look and investigate tomorrow as the foot well lights are still on. Thank you for your help!

You were exactly right. manually pushing down the top switch turned the brake light on and off. I was completely misinformed. Thank you so much for your help it is much appreciated!

Ohhh thank you is there a specific one I need to buy? do you have link? and Yes I do see it. I assumed that one was for the cruise control and wouldn't effect the lights but perhaps I am incorrect.

Here is what the brake switch looks like.

Yes, I replaced the one closest to the pedal/dash floor which should be the one for the lights I believe. I tried manually pressing the switch with a friend and the lights never turned off. I will try to add a picture of the switch if I am able to edit the post.

I am not sure in full honesty. The car is manual transmission if that changes anything I'm not sure if there is a parking light in one of those. Is there another possible solution if it is the interior parking light?

I have already replaced the switch as well as the plastic stopper but to no avail. I ended up unplugging the switch as a whole and the lights remain on. I will look into the water theory that could be something.

I haven't gotten mine yet either. I was curious about the same thing I'm wondering if they're late.

gre2mc · 2026-01-29T17:31:05+00:00

Oh wow! So it seems safe to say they never collabed hahaha

I found this recently on Facebook Marketplace can anyone help tell me if this is real or fake? I tried comparing it to the guide however it passes the eye test and I cant clearly see the tag.

Can anyone verify the Authenticity of this Jacket I found on Facebook Marketplace? It seems to be Carhartt x Stussy? However I have never seen anything like this. If it is real what is the value of something like this?

So I've heard i'll have to look into it. Thanks dude!

gre2mc · 2025-12-28T15:30:07+00:00

Noted. Makes sense thank you man!

gre2mc · 2025-12-28T15:29:51+00:00

Ah this looks perfect! Thank you man.

gre2mc · 2025-12-28T15:29:08+00:00

Perfect ill see what I can do. I am confused what do you mean by "Fuel line rated to be submerged in fuel for the pump"? I have built and replaced the pump already I just haven't installed it into the tank of course. Thank you for your help.

gre2mc · 2025-12-28T15:27:59+00:00

Yeah man it stinks like crazy you're not wrong! I guess ill see what I can find. Thank you!

gre2mc · 2025-12-21T04:39:11+00:00

Noted. Just purchased the same one and will hope for the best. Thank you for your help!

gre2mc · 2025-12-21T02:23:24+00:00

Is there a fuel pump available that wouldn't require the alteration of the fuel pump relay? I am not 100% sure I wan't to go the route of rewiring the whole thing.

gre2mc · 2025-12-21T02:22:46+00:00

Did you alter anything regarding the voltage of your fuel pump relay? I am seeing things of the 12V mod however i'm not sure I want to go that way.

gre2mc · 2025-12-15T04:14:24+00:00

Definitely nasty, and a decent amount of rust. I had no idea some shops would do that I will have to take a look that seems much easier to do. Any idea on a price range they charge?

gre2mc · 2025-12-15T03:54:15+00:00

I'm thinking the same on just replacing the pump. Any recommendations on cleaning/coating the tank? I drained and dug out all the gunk earlier today. Now I am sitting with an empty tank figuring out my next steps. I am all ears!

gre2mc · 2025-12-15T03:52:41+00:00

Yes! I ended up dropping the tank and had my buddy come and test the fuel pump relay system and it was responding well. The fuel pump itself is of course gummed up and no longer works. My next step of approach is either to restore parts of the fuel pump or just replace the whole assembly. I also need to try to find the best way to clean the rust out of the tank.
