Question for RT owners

[Warlock]

Getting ready to carry my wife's Spyder in to have the kill switch repaired. Anyway noticed her brake light would light up with the key off and also the horn would work with key off. Is this normal for the RT's

2010 here... The horn works, but I'm not sure about the brakelight. pps:
Edit: the brakelights work also! :thumbup:

Thanks for the response. Her kill switch doesn't work at all. It's a 12 model with around 1600 miles. I had posted in another thread, but was wondering about the other items before carrying it in for repair.

During your visit at your dealer for your kill switch ask all questions in mind to your tech. Hopefully you'll get the answers to affirm yourself.:yes:

It is on my 2010 RT-S SE5 Model

The Brake light and Horn working whilst the Ign is off - My guess -

I Think the Brake Light and Horn are designed to work with the Ign off as a safety feature

Should the engine cut out or the Ign be off anyone following would still know your are braking as the brake light will still work and hopefully they will see it and not run into the back of you

You could also warn other road uses as the Horn would still function

Yes, works on both the 2010 and 2011's we have.

:shocked: I had never noticed this before... pps:
So I guess it's a good day when you can learn something! :thumbup:

The brake lights, hazard flashers, and horn are mandated to work with the key off in the US.

Horn and brake light

You must have a normal one so does my RTL 2011
