Taillights Always ON!! 200

Hello Fellow Brickboard Members,

I am writing in hopes that someone can help shed some light on this issue that I have been having. Well my ABS light has been on and I have been looking all over for that little box but I am unable to find it. When I discovered my brake light weren't working I decided to tackle that issue.

I traced the problem back to the driver side hinged of my 1991 Volvo 240 wagon. The wiring going through there was shot so I tried to piece it back together the best I could. It was all melted together so it was hard to distinguish between which wire went were. If I recall correctly there were a blue, yellow, black and gray wire.

After repairing the wiring, I decided to check the lights. Started it up and pressed the brake pedal and Viola! Brake lights! Also my ABS light went off as well. I tested it a couple of times and everything worked good. After about the fourth time checking it before I put it back together the Bulb Failure light came on and then my brake light wont turn off. I removed the brake light switch and they are still glowing.

I was wondering if anyone has had this issue? I am not sure why it would work before then just suddenly not turn off. If anyone could shed some light on this issue that would be greatly appreciated. So right now the Bulb failure light is on and the brake lights wont turn off. They are on regardless if the pedal is pushed or not. The only thing I could think is a possible ground issue, does anyone have a wiring diagram for the wires going through the hinges?

Thanks for the help!
Garrett
