Left rear tail light issue I can't figure out
I have a 2009 4S with Orem led tail lights. My drivers side tail light stays on even with ignition off, key removed. My turn signal is in neutral setting, rear fog light not activated, headlight **** in off position.
It stays on 24/7 I have tried every position on the head light ****, every position of turn signal lever.
The only light that is on is the drivers side rear tail light, no drl's, headlights, interior lights etc...
I would greatly appreciate hearing if anyone else has experienced this issue and what fixed.
Thanks!!!
And a big Thank You all that has served this great nation on Memorial Day!

Thank you for your replies and I am sorry it took me so long to get back with you.
Yes OEM tail lights, not aftermarket. No work (to my knowledge) has ever been done to the wiring or tail lights.
Yes this happened out of the blue. One morning went out to the garage and I noticed the reflection on my garage door. I figured I left my turn signal on when I shut off the car.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the idea guys!! I have had a heck of a time trying to log on here over the last few days.
I will try the passenger side light and see if the issue still exists first then explore the control unit. I am in Texas so yes it was after a lot of rain. I felt all under the drivers seat and nothing was damp but will explore it further if the other lights does the same.
Thank you!

Your not clear on which bulb it is?
Brake bulb?
Fog bulb?
turn signal bulb?
Is there not a micro switch at the brake peddle? Does that need a lube? can that be disconnected to take that option off of the list?

There is a European requirement that the left tail light remain lit when car is parked. Not sure but the setting is probably somewhere in the options menu. Check to see if you inadvertently turned it on. I once activated the speed notification setting and it drove me crazy until I figured out what was going on.

Switches tail lights same problem. Looked all over in options menu and didn't find anything. No moisture under drivers seat at all.
I also noticed the license plate light stay on with the drivers side tail light.
Anyone ever heard of this?
Thanks

If the stalk mechanism was malfunctioning would that explain the license plate remaining lit ie is that part of the European spec?

Checked: License plate lights do not illuminate just the front and rear parking lights. Feature also works on right (passenger) side too.
