The switch is on brake pedal,easy to remove,just unplug electrical connector and remove nut holding on,Here's a link to the part,just look how far the nut is on so you can get it adjusted to where the switch is right when installing new one.

Well since the lights are controlled by the OBD (on board diagnostics), you'll have to reset it. You may be able to do this by simply disconnecting the battery for a few hours. However, a lot of newer vehicles have electronically locked radios which require the manual to be able to be re-enabled.

I'd check out the radio before disconnecting the battery.

The only other ways are to physically disconnect the lights in the dash or get someone with an OBD reader to clear the codes.

SOURCE: Non working brake lights in Nissan Altima

make sure the button is working, it may need to be replaced. with your foot off the brake peddle, it is on upper part of brake peddle arm. when you let off brake peddle it pushes button in to shut lights off. it may just be stuck in, spray a little lubracant on it if it's stuck and push in manually several times to loosen.

look up above your brake pedal and you should see the switch. Depending on the car, the switch either pops out, or just needs a screw to be removed

SOURCE: replace tailgate handle on 1998 nissan frontier

On back of the gate, you can remove screws that are along the edge of the trim and then gently pull back on the trim as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. Once the trim is off, you can access the screws securing the tailgate handle to the tailgate

SOURCE: i have code p1776 check engine light on my nissan

I have the same issue, rebuilt the tranny and replaced the solenoid, checked electrical and functionality of soleniod and I am still having the same problem.

I notice it happens in the 50-60 mph range. If I le the truck warm up then hit the road and quickly excellerate to 65 or above and stay there I can go with out any trouble. If I should forget and run in the 50 to 60 MPH range, I will get the code. if I drive that way a second time, the MIL will come on showing P1776 twice.

How to change brake light bushing on 1998 nissan frontier

the break light switch has a needle like rod that pushes up against a flat plastic bushing. The bushing has probably fallen out. Without the bushing the rod has nothing to push against. So, your brake light stays on. I replaced mine with a rubber press screw that fits perfectly in the small hole. Rubber press screws are generally used to secure rubber splash guards under vehicles. They push in and don't back out. Now reattach your break light switch and the rod will now have a bushing to push against.

Replace the brake light switch and the light is still on a 1998 nissan Frontier. I remove the old switch and put a new one on the same problem. Light is still on.

Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder and make sure the E-brake is not on. The "BRAKE" light does not come on because the brake switch is bad.
