Also with the key off the rear brake lights work when you step on the brake.If anyone knows anything about kill switches or wiring please drop a comment as I am interested in how this works.At some point I plan to disable the kill switch to get keyless entry working again. I got to say however despite this TL having over 200,000 miles on it runs great and is really fun to drive.
After reading through the owners manual’s chapter on fuses I found out that the hazards,horn and break lights are all powered by the fuse box under the hood.This vehicle has a fuse box in the interior as well.I am pretty sure what’s happening is the kill switch is only effecting the interior fuse box that powers the dome lights,power locks,driver seat and everything else in the interior.
