Your emergency brake light stays on even when the parking brake isn't engaged. Additionally, after refueling, your car won't start normally and requires revving the engine to start. The engine also won't shut off after you remove the keys unless you press the gas pedal to force it off. These issues suggest electrical problems with the brake light circuit and engine control system that need diagnostic testing.

THE REAR WIPER WILL TURN ON EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS OFF AND THERE IS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. EVEN AFTER PULLING THE FUSE THE WIPER WILL NOT TURN OFF. ALSO, CAME HOME LAST NIGHT AND THE DRL ON THE CAR WERE ON. ONCE THE CAR IS TURN OFF THE LIGHTS WILL ALWAYS GO OFF AFTER THE PASSENGER CAR DOOR IS OPENED THEN CLOSED. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN SEVERAL DAYS BUT YET THE LIGHTS WERE ON. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE CAR THAT MAY CAUSE A PROBLEM WHILE EITHER MYSELF OR MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING IT. *TR
