- Hello fellow Tinkers just another quick how to video to see why your tail lights stay on and causes to drain your battery hope this helps thanks for watching..
part# Dorman 74015 brake pedal accelerator stop pad
TIP: turn the car on and you'll be able to push the brake pedal alot further down, makes it much easier to get to the spot where the rubber pad goes.
No good. You have to remove the battery cable when working on the switch.
@@emiliog.4432 You don't have to touch the switch to replace the pad
You're the only one in all these videos to say this. That helped a ton with the frustration level.
This helped so much thank you I was able to get it done in seconds versus the 15 minutes I tried before
Thank you so much for this tip...I just changed mine and switching the car on made a difference like you said. 🩷
Yow, dude im a new owner of a second hand car and i just want you to know that you save my life,thanks
your welcome man, really glad it help you
Short and quick to the point, very informative. No fancy 10 minute video introduction. Thank you!
Cant get monotized under 10 mins, everyone wants everything free today and dont wanma work.
Sad society of takers today.
Make it over 10 mins and insert ads, you dont owes these freeloaders and your time aint free 👌
Lots of other videos cover this too, but yours was the only one that gave me a crucial tip: the universal rubber stop pad might only ALMOST fit and might need a bit of a close shave -- that was the final ingredient to success. Once that was done (and after I figured out the trick of using the pad to depress the button first, then shoving it into the hole space), it was literally a 30-second job. Thanks so much!
You, dear Sir, are a genuine instructor. You are the only man to share the part's number. It took a day and several hours to find a video which the host shared a part's number. Thank you. You have empowered viewers to confidently seek and find what they need to accomplish a job. Thank you for being a genuine instructor.
I'm really glad it help
Agree!
AND a dextrous one. I'm only 5-foot 10 -- can't imagine how you got your 6-foot 1 frame upside down and under and able to reach the part!
You are correct. The hardest part is getting up in there in the first place. Had to shave down the pad just a tad too. Your vid help me confirm I was pursuing the correct course of action. Thanks.
I appreciate so much you making this video. I diagnosed my brake light issue by watching one video and discovered the part on another video, but it was your video that helped me to really see the location of the bumper pad. I have an Elantra and it seemed to be in a little different location, but I was able to recognize it from watching your video. AND..... thanks for the tip on placing it in the hole to make an impression on the pad to see where to cut away to help the bumper fit. I just finished fixing mine and this was so so so helpful. Thank you!!! You could update your title to add "brake lights stay on when car if off and..." and I think it would help drive a lot more viewers to your video to diagnose, know the part and how to replace ALL from your one video!!
For anyone trying to squeeze the stopper in to the hole. Place the stopper over the hole and use the pedal to squeeze it in to place.
still not going in for me😭
That was key. Thanks for the excellent tip!
When i did that, it actually bent the span of metal between the stop lamp switch and the cruise control switch 🙄 I had to put an allen key in-between the stop lamp switch and the replacement pad before letting go of the beake pedal to even get the pad to stay in the hole, but now it won't depress the stop lamp switch enough to turn out the break lights. I swear, it would be 100x easier if i could just unbolt the bracket eunning across the brake pedal assembly!
I fixed my brake light myself from this video. I did put my hair in a bun or top knot with a beanie to provide extra cushion and wedge my big curvy self underneath but I got it. I got it. I spent 5 bucks on parts and probably saved myself 60 or more.
That's awesome im really glad it helped you..
I guess Im kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Eduardo Payton i dunno I would suggest Flixportal. Just search on google for it :D -calvin
@Calvin Damon thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!
@Eduardo Payton happy to help xD
Had this issue with my ‘98 Civic today… brake lights wouldn’t turn off.
Luckily I put ‘two and two’ together when I randomly saw the broken plastic stopper on the floor of the car just when I was googling the light issue.
They had one of these left at Autozone. It fit right in, can’t believe how easy of a fix this is.
Easy fix, but also very stupid design.. I don't understand why they didn't just design the metal of the brake pedal to stick out a little further at that spot, instead of putting a plastic piece there that will eventually break and render your vehicle temporarily undriveable. Worse, it could break while you are on the road and you would be without brake lights and not even know it unless someone warned you or worse, ran into your rear end
I like how homie immediately applogizes for the dirty interior 😂
Thank you, and I just ordered a brake pedal stop pad; plan on installing it myself - getting in that little car space.
Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful. Real content that the internet needs more of
Hey man I changed mine out earlier today. It was very easy and quick, about 3 mins! Thanks for the vid it really helped me out!!
Thank you for the video! If your waiting on parts to come in and you have a 3d printer... it will get you by. But I would put a rubber one in there asap.
Dude 😎 you did an amazing job. I like they way you took us with you pointing the camera 🤳 . It really help. Nice job. ❤🎉🎉🎉
I'm sorry no one understands how difficult it is to film and install the part without help. My husband is about to fix our 02 Accord using this method and got frustrated, but explained that unless you have someone else filming or holding down the break pedal (if it isn't lodged down with a stick), it's really hard to show the exact moment of installation. Folks need just a bit more empathy. You show where you replace it and explained thoroughly. I appreciate it.
That's fine, just don't call your video "how to replace brake light stopper". He skipped the part we came to see.
True. It's very hard to record it while doing it
Thank you so much. This helped me a lot!
I was worried about they Keys being directly on the car until he said it was his mother in-law’s lol
Thank youuuuu the whole modifying the piece is what I needed to here because the white one with the sharp point was not fitting.
glad it helped
Thanks man👌👍👍👍
Thank you so much for making this video and it’s really helpful. God bless you Amen Hallelujah
Have this issue now. I would try to go to the dealer though instead of going to the local autoparts store. I just called Hyundai and the stopper is I believe just under $4. I would give an exact price but I also got a quote for the brake light switch which can be the culprit in this situation and it was around $15. So if you can and have time, I would go to the dealer. You really dont save any money over a generic part and there will be no modification. But in a pinch, modifying like you did is perfect.
Thanks for the info really good to know.
Thank you, same problem and your advice helped me.
I know it's tacky, but a quick fix on the road is gum and a penny.
James Gomez lol whatever works to get you down the road
If u got a kid with a nerf gun, the nib of the darts works too in a pinch.
I used a round flat magnet as a quick fix
Hey, man. It ain't tacky. You just saved my day!
I'm having this same problem on my '05 Tuscon. Luckily, I have a 3D printer so I'm just going to print a replacement out of carbon fiber so I don't have to worry about it again 😁
It is for 1998 Corolla. Release a spring, and then remove a pin clip and the pin itself will make inserting the new cushion in place much more easily. You can do the job easily in less than ten minutes, folks. Good luck!
FYI - on the two piece kit, I think one piece is for the brake pedal and one piece is for the clutch, if applicable. For Honda, I think white is brake and black is clutch.
Thank you if you show us how to replacement because the people they have to go on you tube they don’t have much knowledge about cars.
Very helpful thanks for posting
I saw that same little rubber pointy thing on the floor mat
Need a install vid bud lol
It helped me fix my wives car, thank u
Thank you, sir! This did the trick and saved me a big bill at the mechanic!
The image @2:42 did wonders for me. Take a picture before you go under the wheel and use it down there for reference.
A-MEN 2 dat broo I understand u about how u can't just go inside like nothing, u gotta turn upside down 2 b able 2 work on it, bro I'm 6'1 ft & I can't even fit correctly in a Honda accord 02 hmmmmm REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE!!! But da video was awesome cuz kno I kno dat it's 2 different kinds of stoppers in da box I thought it was 1 piece & I needed it 2 glue it 2 something idk but Thanx for dat it works like a charm!
I feel your pain 6'1 260lbs struggles real
This brake switch pad is under extended warranty. 15 years and unlimited mileage. Hyundai will fix it for free. I just made an appointment to have my brake switch pad replaced for free at my Hyundai dealership on Wednesday. My car: 2014 Sonata with 117,000 miles. Today's date: 12-07-2020. Just thought I'd let everyone know. BTW...the dealership pad costs $6 if you want to do it yourself.
That"s really good to know thanks for that info
I did it myself.. much rather spend a few minutes doing it at home than waiting at a dealership.
I am a hyundai service tech there is a recall on this and it is free from the dealer it is year and model spcific use the oem type
after market s are junk dont last as long and do not fit the correct way
Mine is a 2005 and is doing this will they fix it plus my brakes are just locking up for no reason idk why.. any ideas?
Are the ones they sell at the dealerships the new improved ones?
Thanks, man, I was able to fix it until I could bring it in for an “official” part. This part was actually recalled for some Hyundais.
Make year and model would help!
They're all different.
It happens to me ..am 6'1 too and I have to take the weird position too to install the pedal stop 😂
Great Video, but where is the video of the Installation, I NEED TO INSTALL ONE... do you have the Fixing it part on another Video 🤔🤔🤔
CLC in Florida sorry thats the only video I have .
@@walg4344 Oh, okay, I was hoping the actual repair was shown, I'm an elderly Woman with no Mechanical Experience... Thank you, and Have a Blessed Weekend 🤗 ♥️
@@CLCinflorida I too was hoping he'd show the actual installation. I too am a senior with no mechanical acumen but knowing the part number is half the battle. Continue to be blessed.
Worked for me.
What tools I need to loosen the break paddle stop pad
No tool the pad was rubber just pulled out and pushed in
Would this also cause random loss of power while I'm driving for a few seconds (because the brake pedal is falling down)? I'm having this exact same issue, but add the loss of power (also I have a 2012 Kia Optima).
Not sure of power loss but it will drain your battery so it can effect your electrical system until battery fully charged from your alternator
Kind of: this is often caused by the deterioration of THE SAME PAD (same part #, 90541-06036) but on the ACCELERATOR pedal. I had this problem for some months on my Solara; only discovered it when I went to change the pad on my BRAKE pedal - and found that BOTH pedal pads (about $2 a piece) had fallen apart/out on both pedals!
Bless your soul
So it gets done by the magic method that we can't see.
Thank you 🙏
It seems the previous owner of my car has replaced the stop pad with a large screw.
Sir whats the exact name of this coz i cant find it online
Help please. How do we get this part for an Infiniti g37 S 2009?
Don’t know the part # used a universal plunger grommet and trimmed it to fit from your local auto parts store hope this helps
We went to the dealership and got the right piece for $1.75 and it was so simple u really can't mess it up, no modification necessary, it literally took 10 seconds, thanks, this video at least showed where the piece goes, once u look under pedal most of the work is done, I hope NO ONE PAYS a mechanic to do this!
Terima kasih
How long do you have until the battery will fully die?
Depends on how old your battery is and how long it sits
my stop light wouldn't turn off., i though it was the switch but when reassemble the pad was gone., good thing i can run my car back to the store to get the pad.
I need to see what you did
I’m 6’ 3” It took my 45 mins
2:08
I have this problem but i have been getting around this by lifting my brake pedal with a screw driver behind it. Is there a reason why the sensor would no longer be touching my brake pedal in the natural rest position or is my brake pedal not sitting where it should when not being stepped on? Is it normal for a brake pedal to be able to be lifted forward? Not sure if my pedal or the sensor are my problem.
Same issue you ever figure it out?
Why do they all say Honda its not for a nissan?
I'm confused on exactly how the 2 prices fit on there I thought you only needed one
You only needed one. It came in a pack of two (or more, in case it was a bigger pack), in case one size doesn't fit.
What is the white one for?
just a different kind of rubber padding universal kind
@@walg4344 Dude I'm so dumb I'm sitting here with the same package trying to squeeze the white one in there because it's pointed like the one that fell out yelling why doesn't it fit!!! It took me watching this video and you saying out loud "assortment" for it to click with me that they're for the same thing. I thought it was for some other related component or something. Fits perfect. Thanks!
Hello sir. Do you have a brother named Ruben? He's about 6'7" or so.
Sorry no brothers just sisters
It didn't look like you pushed the pad all the way down. I bought the same kit for my Subaru, but the white one was an exact duplicate of my broken one. You really need four hands to do this, but I adapted. I used my 4 foot level to push the brake pedal down and then wedged the other end against the seat back. But, I couldn't hold the switch plunger up far enough to get the plug in. So, I loosened the bottom nut and raised the whole switch and slid the plug over the hole and pushed it down in. I couldn't make it go all the way down and it was still up as much as yours is, so I got a pair of Channelocks and used them to squeeze the plug down until it snapped into place! It fits ALL the way down against the metal bracket! I tightened the bottom nut back up and took the level off the pedal and everything works perfect now! I even put a tiny bit of grease on the pointed end of the plug to help it go in, but it needed that tiny bit more of pushing with the pliers to get past the widest part and snap into place, flush with the metal bracket! You'll hear it when it snaps into place!
Nice man good job your right about needing 4 hands lol
Thanks, Saved me who knows how many bucks. Honda would have charged me hundreds for a 5 minute job to replace an $8 part.
Simply push the brake pedal down with one hand, position the grommet with the small side down, release the pedal, and the pressure of the pedal will secure the grommet in place. If it doesn't work the first time just re-position the grommet.
So how you put it in you did not show that
SORRY, IT JUST POPS IN LIKE A RUBBER PLUG
@@walg4344 Fixed ,thanks.
I too am six foot, before shrinkage. Just today I'm doing this same replacement on a 99 Toyota Carolla. At 70 years old,I not only cuss a lot getting upside down in a tiny floorboard, but my hands are too lage, and extreme bending of fingers make me want some dynamite. ,
Ten minute job 40 years ago maybe. (And there was more space and less junk under there back then.) Now it's been a half day and two pints of alcohol, one to bath my flayed fingers with and the other pint to drink to make me forget I still have to put the new switch back on. 😞
Too small for my Infinity QX4 1999
Hey Good Video-Thanks-I will replace mine in my 2001 Tacoma Toyota OEM Part # 90541-06036-Cost $1.59 at the Local Orlando Toyota-Cost over $5.00 via Ebay/Amazon.
There’s no way to get in there
The point of a video like this is to show it so this was not helpful.
You showed NOTHING on HOW to install it.
You find the hole on the brake pedal arm where the old one was and push the new one into it.
By not showing the installation it became not helpful.
Why not just bend the bracket till the brake lights go off. Stick a screw driver between peddle and the bracket, have someone stand in the back of the car and say "Lights are off" and never have to deal with it again. In the old days before you were born we didn't have cheep Chinese plastic crap.
That’s one way to do it also
Dude you talk too much just get to the fix. And you didnt even show the fix. Wtf
