Should the brake lights work if the key is not in the ignition? Just curious. They always have on any other car I owned, but today I was checking bulbs, and they would not come on unless the ignition was turned on. Is this normal for the Crossfire?

 

Yes its normal..

 

I don't recall owning ANY car where the brake lights would come on without the ignition being on.

 

Strange, I am on my tenth car and this is the first one where they don't come on.

 

I think one of us is stoned. ... and I am not ruling out the probability that it is me.

 

With the repair bill I am probably looking at, it will most likely be me by morning.
