Does anyone elses TSX do this?
Today, I drove home around 9:00 and as I was getting out, My foot hit the brake pedel and my brake lights lit up..... but the keys werent even in the ignition??
I tried it again, and sure enough, the brake lights lit up without the keys in the ignition
does anyone else's TSX do this?
EDIT: oh crap, I put it in the wrong section.... can someone move this to general discussion please
thanks

Let me help you!
All cars do it. Quite helpful when you're helping someone push the car, and the driver decides to ride the brakes to give you a hard time. Or maybe to flash S-O-S when a gunman is in your backseat with a gun aimed at your head (saw that at a movie). Or maybe if your ignition switch is bad and the car dies while you're rolling to a stop...
Although probably they designed it like that so that the brake lights don't light up with a delay after the brake pedal is stepped on (ie: if it had to travel through the computer, etc...). A simple circuit where the brake pedal triggers the light...
but anyway, that's just a random thought that's going off on a tangent...

i do that from time to time when my garage door is closed to check if all my brake lights are working. i've seen some other TSX's where their center lamp doesn't light up sometimes.

Now now now, let's not give 'em a hard time. Not everybody is automobile literate.
A friend of mine is so clueless, that his truck sat for weeks and all it was was a dead battery! I came over and he was like, "yeah, my truck is dead." I ask him what the problem was, and he says that nothing turns on when you turn the key. So I ask him if he thought about the possibility of the battery being dead. Bingo! lol Gave 'em a jump start (It was only a Ford Ranger, first bought my TSX and was rather scared, but went flawlessly) and bam. He thanked me, and it's been running since lol.

Ok ok, I'm sorry I made a sarcastic reply. I figured there were enough informative posts that I could have a little fun. In reality though, everyone has asked a car question someone thought was stupid, myself included. My favorite from this board was that someone (with over a thousand posts) thought that '4-banger ' meant 4 doors.

I don't usually say sarcastic stuff though...I try to at least twist it somehow so that I can add a little information
