SOURCE: Brake Light

The hole in the pedal arm is for the cruise control. There is a plastic plug that needs to be in place to turn off the brake lights. They should be available at any dealer - there is also one for the clutch pedal arm in manual trans. These are required for the cruise as well as to turn off the brake lights. I bet that several will now be able to have their cruise back.

SOURCE: 2000 Chevrolet s-10 brake lights on.

I have the same problem with my 2000 S10, Is the manufacturer trying to get us killed? I also replaced the brake light switch, adjusted it, and it worked for about a week. I did notice a couple of times that I was getting out of the truck that I got shocked off the door. I talked to an electrician and he said there is possibly a loose ground wire or a wire shorting out somewhere. This is a dangerous situation driving with disfunctional brakelights. It should be a factory recall! Before someone's family ends up dead because of it. I will keep searching for solutions. Thanks.

SOURCE: adjust or change a brake switch on 96 dodge neon

At the upper part of the brake pedal, you'll find the brake light switch. Replace it and you should be fine.

My 2000 Forester tail lights wont go off unless I pull the fuse out of the fuse box. It runs down the battery if I leave the fuse in.

That most likely is the brake lights staying on because the brake light switch under dash is out of adjustment and the brake pedal is not touching the button to shut it off. Possibly the spring is disconnected that pulls the pedal up against the brake light switch button. Check this out.

Brake lights stay on

You problem could just be that the brake switch is out of adjustment or bad.It is located on the brake pedal under the dash.Try pulling up on the brake pedal and see if the lights go off.By pulling up I mean grab the pedal with your hand and pull towards you.The opposite of when you step on the brakes with your foot.If they still stay on you will have to go under the dash and disconnect the brake switch connector and see if the lights go off.There might be 2 switches on the pedal.One is for the cruise shut off and the other the brake switch.Hope this helps.Good luck.

The brake lights won't go out. I pulled the fuse so the battery doesn't go dead, but can't figure out why they are staying lit.

on your brake pedal there is a switch that controls your brake lights over time it comes to lose just enough for the switch won't come in contact with the pedal

Had to pull fuse # 23 brake switch to get the back lights to shut

If it's the brake lights, you may need to adjust your stoplight switch under the brake pedal bracket. If it's the taillights, then you will need to trace and diagnose it. Which lights are staying on and which circuit does fuse #23 operate?

Thanks,

Kevin

My brake lights will not go off unless I pull fuse #4 (Stop 10 A). The fuse that I pulled out looks like it is still good. I replaced it with a known good fuse but the lights stay on. What am I missing?

sounds like the brake light switch is bad. Look at the top of the break pedal arm and there should be a switch that is activited by the travel of the pedal.

If you have a mutlimeter handy, check it for continuity.....the circuit is open at rest and closes when you push on the pedal.

2003 Nissan Sentra Brake lights stay on

When you depress the brake pedal, the brake pedal will move away from the brake light switch and cause a close circuit and the brake lamps light up. There is a rubber bunk on the pedal which pushes against the brake light switch to shut it off when you release the brake pedal. Most likely this rubber bunk has either fallen off or disintegrated leaving a hole in the brake pedal so there is nothing to push against the switch to shut it off. Look up the brake pedal until you see the brake light switch, then depress the brake pedal to see if the rubber bunk is still there. It is easy to replace. Or you can use some double sided adhesive tape and a coin and stick the coin over the hole in the brake pedal.
