Lately I've been having trouble with my brake sensor, I changed my tail lights a while back and ever since I did that while I'm driving the brake kicks on and it cuts my throttle out immediately. Does my break sensor in any way connect to my tail lights and could that cause this problem

 

Ben,
You seemed to have answered your own question. gl!

 

I just don't want to spend another 300$ on tail lights and that not even fix it

 

I get it. You need to use OEM tails. Any others you may have trouble with. There are plenty of ded Z's in scrap yards to pick and save money.

If you bought aftermarkets, get your $ back ASAP.
Done.

 

Ben,

When closed, the brake switch behind the brake pedal sends 12 volts to the brake lights, the ABS actuator, and the ECU. It appears you have a sneak circuit in your aftermarket lights which is sending 12 volts back to the ECU and ABS actuator. The ABS actuator applies the brakes and the ECU cuts the throttle (part of the unintended acceleration fix).

 

And with Thanksgiving right around the corner, there should be more.

Wait, what? No, no, I meant "Black Friday deals".





Snort snort.

 

What $300 tails did you buy? OEM 06+ are only a bit more, less if used. No brake check issues with oem.
