The LED lights up when the break light is pressed, is this still a break light switch problem?

Hmmm so the end leds are on all the time but they all work when you press the brake pedal?

Right first I would check out the bulbs in the rear clusters if they are blown replace them. Then you may find they are on all the time is so its the switch  :smiley:
