Try adjusting the brakes first. There is an adjustment nut in the pedal that sets the up height for the pedal. Might want to look into raising the pedal that way. You may not have enough brake fluid in the master cylinder. Check and adjust fluid level if necessary.

How old are the brakes? It sounds like you may have a warped rotor.

SOURCE: Left turn signal stops flashing when brake pedal is depressed.

there is a ground problem, most likely in the tail unit itself, but a ground problem is hard to find and easy to fix. reground the system, the turning unit, and the problem should stop. About the hazards, I don't know...... some times in older cars, that is the way it works. because the brake and hazard element in the bulb is the same and the old cars used a break in the power, but the new cars use a break in the ground. any way, chase the ground down first, it is usually the cause.

Sounds like it could well be the brake servo unit.

When the brake peddle is hard to depress is that the power brake booster

Most likely a failed master cylinder or vaccume leak to the booster. Here is how to check for a bad brake booster first with the vehicle off depress the brake pedal usually once or twice is sufficient but however long it takes to make the pedal as firm as possible now with your foot on the brake pedal pushing down start the car if the pedal moves your boosters not at fault it's your master cylinder or another problem if it doesn't move its most likely a booster problem

Car will not accelerate when gas pushed

Clutch plate and pressure plate seem to be too weak to pull the car. To test the clutch plate, park the car on flat surface. Pull the hand brake up, start the car, depress the foot brake pedal, depress the clutch pedal, put the car in 1st gear, press the gas pedal and leave the clutch pedal at once, while keeping the brake pedal depressed.
Follow one of the two following statements:
1. Engine does not shut down and remain start. (Clutch plate, pressure plate and clutch bearing defective - Replace all as a set)
2. Engine shuts down. (Clutch system is OK and does not require any repair).

Brake lights staying on when car is turned off 1990 geo prism

Check the adjustment on the brake light switch which is mounted to the brake pedal lever assembly. Chances are is that it is out of adjustment and needs to be replaced.you can manually depress the plunger on the switch(as if your foot was off of the pedal) to see if the lights turn off. When your foot is off the brake pedal it is supposed to depress the plunger on the switch causing an open circuit (it won't allow voltage to pass through to the brake lights).

I have a 2004 Land cruiser and changed the right rear brake cyl and brake shoes . What is the proper procedure to bleed the rear brake system. Thank you for your help.

  1. Check the fluid level in the reservoir after bleeding each wheel. Add DOT3 fluid, if necessary.
  2. If the master cylinder was disassembled or if the reservoir becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder as follows:
    1. Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
    2. Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it.
    3. Block off the outlet plug with your finger, and release the brake pedal.
    4. Repeat 3 or 4 times.

  3. Bleed the brake starting with the one furthest from the reservoir and then the next furthest, etc.
  4. Depress the brake pedal several times, then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal held down.
  5. At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug to 11 Nm (8 ft. lbs.), then release the brake pedal.
  6. Repeat until all the air in the fluid has been bled out.
  7. Repeat the procedure to bleed the air out of brake line for each wheel.
  8. Check the fluid level and add DOT3 fluid if necessary.

I have a 2005 Nissan Altima will not shift out of park.I have replaced the shifter assemble,brake lights do work,Need help

If the floor shift lever wont move out of park, there foot brake lock that prevents it from moving until you depress the brake pedal and pull it out of park. I think the release is vacuum operated so try depressing the brake pedal a few time while trying to release. TerBo

2007 Cadillac SRX rear tail light stays illuminated after taking foot off brake, also comes on and off, flicker, without brakes depressed.

your brake switch needs adjustment, located down under dash on brake bracket, when the brake is depressed it lets the switch out, and when the brake is not depressed the switch is in. adjust the switch by screwing it closer to the pedal so it gets depressed more, usually 2 turns will do it

Brake lights not working

the brake pedal you depress with your foot has a plunger style switch that activates the brake lights. that switch is at fault if the brake lights do not operate upon pressing the pedal

I can't get it out of park. My foot is on the brake. I have never had a problem with it before.

the shifter lock solenoid is defective, the brake pedal switch is defective, check them with a multimeter, and check for voltage when brake is depressed at the solenoid, check switch at brake pedal with an ohm meter for continuity when brake is depressed
