Fixed - Honda Accord Brake Lights Stay ON | Brake Switch
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ม.ค. 2018
- Recently, I was faced with an issue with my Car. The battery drained completely and I was almost stranded on the way, because the brake Lights stayed ON after I parked the car and went to work for about ten (10) hours.
This video show how I fixed the issue, which was with the brake switch support.
The brake switch should be properly installed in the right position to avoid brake/acceleration malfunction.
Applicable to 2003-2007 Honda Accord (2004-2008 Acura TSL, TL)
This Is hoping the information in this video will be helpful to someone out there in the World.

Thank you. My 2004 Accord had the same problem and your video help me fix it.
You're welcome👍
Am glad this DIY helped you.
Thank you for the feedback🍷
Thanks! This video got me going in the right direction. Cheap replacement stop pad from local auto part store fixed it. 20 minute job. Took photo for future reference. Removed wire connector, loosen jamb nut, removed switch, installed stop pad, replaced switch, adjust for proper fit (remember how much thread exposed on switch before removing - see your photo), tightened jamb nut. Done.
Mike, thank you for the feedback. Appreciate it.
Thank God I found your video because it was a life saver (battery life that is). Great tip. You're truly helping people save time and money. Thanks a million!!
Thank you and please stay connected
The problem is the nipple looking plastic part becomes brittle with the heat cycles over the years. Had this same problem with my wife's car (technically it's my car, but oh well). The nipple looking plastic part that presses the electric switch (the one that broke off in this video), broke off in my car as well. It was late at night, so the local parts store was closed. Had to "MacGyver" the thing to make it work for the wife's morning trip to work. What I essentially ended up doing to permanently fix the problem was to dig into my many glass pickle jars I keep in my garage shelves. I've collected (over many years) all sorts and size of nails, bolts, nuts, washers, screws, etc. I pulled out a 1 inch round head bolt that fit perfectly through the hole that houses the nipple looking thing that broke off. I used a couple of washers and a butterfly nut, and the problem is fixed. The bolt's round head now presses the switch on/off. A permanent solution that will last as long as the car lasts.
Thank you CastleBravo for the feedback, it helps.

Sonny Ibibo yeah bro was an easy fix, thanks again
You're welcome 😁
That's a easy not expensive fix. Go to the parts store it's called a stopper only for 3 bucks!!!!
THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
Thank you soooo much!! I was about to junk the car
You're welcome.
Am glad the video helped you.
Thank you too.
Same issue, same trouble-shooting, nearly the same solution. What I've learned:
[Plan A] This video shows the proper and correct repair. You replace the bushing on the switch itself. I don't know the cost of the part, but appears to take a lot of time and effort.
[Plan B] Don't worry about the switch; just plug the hole in pedal itself. Plastic stopper costs $8 at any auto parts store. Ask for "brake petal bushing."
[Plan C] Again, plug the hole, but with a spare bolt from your tool box. (Cheapest option)
Thank you for the feedback and contribution.
Using a bolt is okay but the using the plastic reverts cost $0 too. 😁

How did you get the cover off?
My 2009 Honda Accord center brake light works, but the other two brake lights do not come on. The brake light switch is good, I also checked where all wires connect to the ground, and it looks good. Any suggestions on what to check next would be greatly appreciated.
I would also check the bulb & the conductors that make contact with the bulb.
Check for 12V at the bulb sockets.
Great video. What is the name of the piece you used?
Thanks. Its a 6mm rubber rivet...
Sonny Ibibo What year is your honda? I have 1998-2002 model range. Thank you. The specs could change from each generation. (4 years= Generation)
TheTread123, thank you👍....
Mine is a 2003 Honda Accord 2.4 cyl I4 engine...
Fixed this a second time just a few moments ago. Around 10 years ago I used double sided tape and some cardboard, now that I park my car under direct sunlight, the doubled tape seem to shrink until the sensor disengaged again.
A stronger plastic material can serve a long while.
Mine also happened when I the car under direct sunlight all day & burned the brake light at the rear windscreen.
Honda should make that piece metallic.
I am having same issue in my Honda Accord but I am not able to figure out how to remove that pannel . Before we can change that plug .
It's not difficult. Please see my earlier video ( DIY: 2003-2007 Honda Accord Brake Switch Location)
I have a 2005 Honda Accord.........how do u change the tcs switch
Hi Aubrey, I haven't worked on TCS switch before, my car is I4, but you will have to pry off the under-dash panel with a plastic prying tool, then gently remove the switch & replace it. There are usually three switches on that panel, e.g sunroof switch. Hope this gives you a clue. Thank you
Where do I find that push pin and do you have that part number
I have a 1999 Honda Accord
What is that plastic piece called? I can’t seem to find it at autozone.
It is a stop pad. Auto shops should know it.
what’s part name ?
How to take the plastic cover under the wheel ?
Hi Haim, which wheel are you referring to?
In the video you'll see that the little plastic that disengages the brake switch is located on the brake stem.

I thought it was a piece of crayon that kids dropped till and guy told me my brake lights were on
😅😄😃...that little piece caused me the trouble.
My switch doesn’t have that black thing and it comes out easily
Have you checked for replacement at the junk?
You literally skipped the part I needed to watch lol
Really? What would that be, pls?
What taking apart the dash yeah that wouldve helped
So was the switch bad or it was just missing that piece to switch it from on to off
Gyasi Knight, it was just the piece that I ended up replacing. .
Thanks, pls stay in touch👍
Sonny Ibibo ok I’m having the same issue where my lights are constantly on. I haven’t took em it apart yet, but I’ll look at the plastic fitting
Gyasi Knight, you can be sure that the issue is 'in & around' the brake switch. Do report after you've resolved it.👍👍👍
Sonny Ibibo so I finally found some time in between my work schedule. It was that plastic housing that the brake pedal switch sits on. I went to the auto store and picked up a piece and now it’s working perfect. Thanks for sharing my brotha
Gyasi Knight, thank you for reporting back & good to know that the information in this video helped your resolve. 👍✌
A golf tee works great
Great.
thanks for the feedback.
Very stupid design! The little plug on the brake lever sits in a hole and hits the plunger to tell the car that you are NOT stepping on the brake. Now the 2 cent plug on my car fell apart and now it's just a hole where it was and nothing is there to tell the car that I am NOT stepping on the brake. The consequence??? The brake lights will stay on until you fix it, pull the fuse, or the battery dies... If there were no hole, they wouldn't need the plug, if there were no plug, there wouldn't be anything to break off.
The fix??? Take 2 minutes to go to the garage and find a bolt that fits in the hole. (I used one with a rounded head) Take 30 seconds to get down by the brake pedal and drop the bolt into the hole. The bolt head will stop it from falling through and gravity will keep it from falling out. The plunger will now hit the top of the bolt! You're done...
Great.
In my case, before I noticed that the little plastic is off from the hole, the red brake light shield has burnt & melted. Now the scare remains there, ugly😎
Thank you for feedback.
@@SonnyIbibo Lucky for me, the lights were only on a couple of hours. The sun had set and the neighbor noticed them being on...
Lucky you
I've not been able to figure out how to replace the burnt brake light covering. The one at the rear windscreen
