2011 Itasca Impulse Rear Light Issue

Both taillights and LED strip on upper center stay on, even when key is our of ignition?

I have no idea where to start ti find a solution, it seems they LED even has a different power source as I was able to pull fuse #6 from under the dash and the taillights went out. I cannot find the fuse to pull to turn off the LED strip till I can figure out the problem and not drain the battery.

I think the LED light bat must be connected via the fuse block under the hood, since I had to disconnect both batteries to turn both lights off.

Likely to actually be BRAKE lights which operate only when brakes on, Taillights are on different circuit to be on with headlights! Let me do a bit of search for info but we tend to not get much on the chassis wiring on many RV. Maybe get lucky?
But there should be a different fuse for brake lights and I would expect it to be in box under hood, not with most of the coach fuses?? Perhaps in the same box with taillight fuse but unsure where or which!
Any chance of a chassis info booklet on hand with fuse info?
No labels inside the cover?

That sounds like a high mounted brake light, more than tail light! So a different circuit and different fuse. We don't get much on the chassis wiring but I would expect it to be a different fuse but in the same box as the tail lights fuse??
Any chance of a drawing in the lid or a booklet on the chassis that might help? Being a part of chassis we need info from different folks!

I found the cause of the issue, it was low brake fluid that did not push the brake pedal all the way off the stop light switch.

Low fluid is a cause for concern, you have a leaky caliper or brake line, remember to replace the calipers in pairs to be safe!
