Just started working on my car, couldn't figured out why they were staying on and this was the VERY first video I saw. Thanks a bunch saved me a lot of could be hassle
Fabulous!! This was exactly the problem that just popped up this afternoon with my 2008 Nissan Versa, right down to the little broken plastic thingamajig pieces laying on the floor board. It took me longer to drive to the hardware store for the bolt/nut than to fix the problem. THANKS, Random Knowledge Guy!!!
1000 Thanks saved me a lot of money! Since there was a hole I simply got a bolt and nut with the similar size so I never have to deal with it hopefully metal wont break. Total cost: $1.25
Thank you so much for posting this video. I was able to fix my car problem in minutes compared to taking my car to a mechanic and even losing a day of work. God bless!
SPOT ON MY MAN!!! Wow thanks!! My 03' Ford ZX2 has a rubber bushing there and believe it or not there was one on the other side of the bracket I just moved it over!! Saved me a boat load of time!!! THANKS!!
This just happened to my car, 1997 Toyota. I looked at what you showed and went to look for anything in the floor of the car. A little round, black piece of plastic and another little black thing was there. I just went to a store and when we came back, my grandson noticed the light on. I just put the round thing in the place I thought it was supposed to be and the light was off. Now to figure how to make it stay or be sure to keep checking it. Thank you for sharing this !!!!! I had no idea what to do.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I own a 2001 PT Cruiser, & my brake switch is a little different, however, you gave me a place to look & my brake switch had been kicked off accidentally. Thank you TONS!!!
RKG...you are a genius and angel. Same issue on a Lexus. Now why do the manufacturers put a stupid thingamajingy made of plastic and not a metal bolt in the first place?!
Thanks for the video. Had the same issue with my Hyundai Accent with the broken plastic pieces on the floor mat. I just used 2 layers of double sided tape at the place where the plastic was and it solved the problem in less than 5 minutes.
+Telbont my plastic piece in my 2005 Hyundai Sonata didn't seem to be broken but maybe worn down. I taped a couple of pennies onto it and the problem was instantly fixed!
+Kim Broadbridge Good you taped the pennies onto it. Initially I put only double sided tape but the switch slowly pushed through the tape and the lights came on again. Then I taped on a coin and it's been working great since then. Just needs a hard surface as a stopper for the switch.
Thank you for the video. I went out this morning at five and noticed the brake lights were on. I took the fuse out under the hood. I'm going to try this. Wish me luck it's a rental.
WOW! thanks you so much for sharing this video with us... my Honda civic 2004 DX value package had the problem and it was exactly the problem and I fixed it same way you did!!!! amazing.
Thanks for posting this. I thought it might be something serious. But sure enough, I looked on the floor and I saw some funny plastic bits. For now, I fixed it with a wad of paper and I taped it until I can buy the actual part.
Just had this happen to my 91 Geo Prizm today. I didn`t know what killed my battery until today. I had it towed to my nearest mechanic, and he told me my brake lights won`t shut off, and that`s what killed the battery.
Great video - Just had this happen to me and low and behold I have the same plastic pieces on my floor board. Can you say what exact size of screw and bolt you used. That would be helpful because then those of us who have the same problem could go just get the screw and nut at Lowes or Home Depot. I can figure it out but it would be helpful to know. Anyways - great video and thanks for sharing.
Happened with me too, found the broken pieces of plastic disc on the floor, I found a plastic panel button with the threaded piece on the other side, pushed the brake pedal down with a brick then pushed the plastic disc through the hole on pedal arm and secured with a bolt on the other side. Cost $0 to fix!
Tonight I went to my local Texaco to get some petrol for my car and a loaf of bread. On the forecourt were two women and a young lad looking under the bonnet of an S registered Kia Pride. They were discussing how to remove the battery to fit a new one they had just bought. So me being a qualified car mechanic, I went over to them and asked if they needed some help, I then ended up showing them how to safely disconnect the battery, remove it, install the new one and connect it up. I also took the liberty of checking the level of the car's piano black engine oil. With the car started, I noticed the battery warning light was lit up on the instrument binnacle and the brake-lights were stuck on, which by this point they told me that they had just bought the car!!! They were rather annoyed with themselves when I told them that they would need to get a new alternator, brake light switch and engine oil to get it in a roadworthy condition!
2002 Ford Focus ... didn't do a thing... Replaced switch, fuses, and ALL BULBS including the middle/third light at top of rear hatch and nothing changed.... Next up might be to change the neutral safety start switch...then wiring... ???
I NEED HELP! I am having the exact same problem except my brake switch doesnt look like yours, only thing coming off my brake pedal looks like a rod/piston and it goes straight into the car?
My left rear lights wont turn of when i brake or when i go into reverse, but my right ones do turn on when i brake and when i go into reverse. Also when i press my alarm the lights go off, i think it might be faulty fuse. i've checked all the bulbs, idk how to check the fuse or where else to begin. may anyone help
same problem with my 2000 Honda crv. bought part at dealer for $2. then had to buy $20 jumper cables because brake light stayed on all night and drained battery.
My girlfriend's car was having this exact same problem, and thanks to your video I was able to fix it. In return my lady rewarded me with sweet oral pleasure... I owe you a beer, friend.
I'm in trouble with my brake lights. Can someone help me? I have a VW Gol G6 2013 (it's a brazilian model) and since my ECU had a shortcut and been repaired, my brake lights are always on. If I turn on the ignition then brake lights will turn on as well and get stuck. If I remove and then replace the fuse from brake lights switch then the lights turn off and will only turn on if I press the brake pedal as expected. But if I turn the car off and then turn it on again the same problem will get back. I'm wondering if it's an ECU issue or just a stuck relay. My car doesn't have ABS but it's brake system are similar to some VW Jetta, with a 1K0945459A brake lights switch.
All this videos I got tired of watching neither one gets to my problem, what happens in my car the two switch wires heat up and melts together before reach the switch, I need a video with that problem.

An over-three-year-old video. Saved my ass big time. Going out of town next Thursday and I didn't want my battery to drain.

Thanks!

Same problem with my son's '94 Geo Prizm. Very helpful video. Thanks!

Thank you so much! I had just cleaned my car and didn't realized that I had flipped that switch.
You are "da man!" You are indeed correct (little pieces on my floor mat) and my problem is identified. Now to get the part! THANKS for your video!
Thank you so much. I watch 3 or 4 other videos and your's is the only one I could understand. Fixed it myself for less than a buck. Again Thank You!
Thanks for the knowledge, I used a quick fix method similar to yours on my '03 civic si
This worked like a charm. Many thanks!!
Thank you found the plastic pieces on my floor board. Will fix it asap
Awesome! Thanks so much! This saved me big time!
What is the plastic piece called and where can a get a new one
Yep that worked. And you know what I had the same problem sometime ago with the clutch pedal. Nissan D21. Pieces of plastic eventually just break
Thank you. Great help and fortunately my roadside assistance provider carry generic parts like this as its a regular incident. All fixed.
fixed mine on a honda fit in less than 5 minutes. thanks for the tip!

same problem with my 2000 Honda crv. bought part at dealer for $2. then had to buy $20 jumper cables because brake light stayed on all night and drained battery.
+james greene whats the name of the part?
Do you know the name of the part ?
You don't need to buy a new brake switch just put a small bolt and a nut to crate a spacer to depress the switch and its fixed.
What happens when you put in a new switch and this still happens -_-
thanks so much bro!!
My girlfriend's car was having this exact same problem, and thanks to your video I was able to fix it. In return my lady rewarded me with sweet oral pleasure... I owe you a beer, friend.
