High beams act as low beams all the time, unless you pull the brights towards you and hold which is also a fatality.

I have replaced the brake light switch twice. The current switch is malfunctioning. The original swutch was replaced about 18 months ago. The brake lights did not come on when the pedal was depressed. The second incident about 8 months ago the lights did not go off when the pedal was released. Currently the lights are staying on after the pedal is released. All three incidents the brakes performed normally. There is a side effect that occurs, the broadcast radio will cut off intermittantly. This is the way I have learned of the switch malfunction. Note, both replacement switches were purchased at a reputable auto parts store and were manufactured for this vehicle. Both switces were installed by a trained sevice technician.
