You might need a "Brake Pedal Stop Pad" Cost: $2.00 - 5.00
Part Number: 46505-SA5-000
(or...71045 *from a comment below)
Google: "Honda Accord Brake Pedal Stop Pad"
Quick Fix: If you need to do a quick fix, use cardboard, put a bolt in the hole, or tape a "spacer" such as two pennies, to the pedal and this will get you down the road.
Stop the Battery from Draining: pull the plug off the switch at the brake pedal; or pull the fuse at the fuse box in the engine..see the related video.
NOTE: It's faster to just go to your local parts store; they will likely have the part you need.
Interesting fact...TH-cam stats show this video get more hits/sikes May through September. itsa very clear graph. My part broke during the summer months. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
This videos 10 years old and your saving people like me thank you so much
came out to my car being dead 2 mornings ago, couldnt be bothered by it cause i just got me a new tacoma thats also my house, anyway i was sure it was the battery, being 6 years old just spent 200 on a new one cause i want my car to be able to run, put it in car starts, looks behind me....."ohh now whats this shit " sees my solid lit up break lights. anyways googled brake lights stuck on 98 accord, found this man god, allah and whatever you believe in bless this man. 10 more dollars for the piece of plastic at oreileys. booom job done.
Shout out to the real heroes of America: These guys who make short videos of their car fixes. I never would've guessed it was such a tiny part.
I just got a 99 Accord and couldn't figure out why my battery was draining...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS FOR US CAR ILLITERATE!! Really saved the day.
You saved me! My landlord awoke me at 1:30AM announcing my break lights on my 99 Accord were on. Pitch black out, I pulled the “Stop” fuse and set my phone alarm to awake me at daybreak. I found the broken plastic on the car carpeting and knew. Then I put the fuse back in place under the hood; went to the break pedal; taped a penny in the plastic stopper’s former spot and drove to AutoZone. They were out of stock of part 74015 but the female clerk who once owned a Honda guided me to another part - a flat rubber stopper with a cone shaped end and her coworker depressed the break peddle for me as ol’ me got down on a blanket, reached up to the break light switch and put the stopper in place. Your video was the first one I turned to! 😊
What an INCREDIBLE story. Thank you soo much for sharing. Nice job tacking the repair yourself. 👍
from a daughter whose dad lives over an hour away, thank you for this video!!! and happy late father's day!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Yesssss hunny! Same here!
Happy late father's day!! Again..
My dad also lives several hours away and I was in the same predicament until I found this video!! Thank you so much my friend, I was about to break down in tears 😭 trying to figure it out on my own
Thank you so very much for this video. My son was able to watch your amazing video and was able to buy the part and fix the issue! Greatly appreciate! Please keep up the good work!
7 years later and it’s still helpful this video
Most awesome comment!
Thank you so much. So.glad I could help. 👍
This is great, I woke up this morning and found plastic pieces on my floor board and watched your video and found out my problem. Thanks to you I got it fixed quick and saved my battery 😊
Same here
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Same thing happened to me
Thank you for this video. We just followed your advice ... and went to the local auto shop and purchased the part and put it in...and the lights turned off! At first we did not push the stop pad all the way in and it fell out. We used some pliers to make sure the stop pad was pushed all the way in. Works perfect now!
After multiple tries, watching youtube videos, I put the temporary fix, penny and duck tape. It worked. Brake lights go off. Waiting for plastic stopper I ordered. Then I will put it in. I am 69 years old woman with 2005 honda civic. I did make appointment at car repair place . I will cancel on monday. They were going to charge me more than $6 to fix. Diagnostic, order part, wait for part. Me having to use uber twice. $$$. Thankyou for video.
I can't thank you enough. After finding out that I have to replace my AC unit, the brake light issue was added. Everything you laid out in this video was spot on. Years later, you're still making an impact. Again, thank YOU!
C - Thank You! Soooo much. It is really nice the folks take the time to comment. Its sooo Wonderful to see folks are still finding the video and taking the time to learn on their own how to fix these things.
Thank you for your kind words. Be safe.
I also need to replace my AC unit and just had this issue. Wild.
You were spot on! My daughter's Honda did the same exact thing. Thanks to you we saved on having to get a diagnostic test done. You are wonderful!!!!
My car battery died today cause my brake lights wouldn’t turn off… found this video.. 10$ later and it’s fixed. Thank you 🎉
OUTSTANDING!! from on grateful dad to another. Your video helped to diagnose a problem with our daughter's Acura TL. He found the broken pieces of the plastic bumper on the floor board. He used a bolt instead of the plastic for a more permanent fix. Truly grateful!!!
08/06/2019. This was the problem with my 1998 Honda Accord. My wife drove it today, and had the exact same problem as your daughter, and when I checked, after watching this video, I had the same problem. Thanks for posting this!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
just used this fix on my Honda...thank you! your video was spot on...even to the broken plastic piece on the floor of my car. brilliant. I will add though that my year of honda had even less room than yours...now to find a good chiropractor! Thank you
You saved my life at 3AM wondering why my brake lights were on. I saw it when I woke up to grab some water. And you probably saved me an N punter with a crooked mechanic. Love you.
Thank you so much!! My mom discovered my brake lights were on as she came home from shopping, and we were worried it'd be complicated or expensive. But, sure enough, I found the pieces of the stopper on the floor! Easy fix, no need to panic!
I found that piece laying on the floor and couldn't figure out what it was. Tried to start my car for work this morning, and the battery was completely dead. I couldn't figure out where my short was or if my alternator was going out. I happen to look over at my car as the sun was going down, and noticed the brake lights were on. Did a quick Google and landed here. Thanks for sharing!
Hey man. Just wanted to say thanks for the help!
The part wasn’t even $10 and it literally only took 2 mins to install. 🙌🏾
I trust YT video more then any auto shop out there. They would charge 200 just for this work. Many thanks to U.
You bet brother! I just make sure to watch as many videos as you can, so you get more than one opinion. Glad I could help shed some light on the removal.
Bought the part at the Honda dealer up the street for $3.24. I used a heavy brick to hold down the brake pedal. It took less than a minute to install. Thank you so much!!!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Great tip on the brick to hold the pedal down...clicked like on your comment👍
You're right found the broken plastic pieces on the ground and saved me a lot of time! I knew I'd find somebody on TH-cam that could help.Thanks
Nice!!!! Glad you found a video that gave you all the information you needed. Thank you for taking the time to comment. 🍻
Thank you for this. I was just about to call my mechanic and put the old hoopie in the shop. Checked TH-cam, found your vid and saved myself a fortune. You are awesome!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Let me add my thanks to the list - that was exactly the issue we ran into tonight. Using the two pennies for a quick fix until the parts store opens in the morning also worked like a charm. Really appreciate you taking the time to put together and post this video.
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Had to replace this for the first time on my 97 and this was a perfect video for it, thank you even 8 yrs later
The Man coming in clutch
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
My daughter‘s car was doing the same thing. Thank you so much for uploading this. She lives in Hawaii so getting the part would’ve been difícult, so I just bought a 1/4x20 by 1/2 inch nylon screw with a nylon nut for $1.25 and it works perfect
My neighbor called just a few minutes ago with this issue. I wasn't quite sure what to do (and I was half asleep already when he called me)....I quickly referred to Google, found you at the top of my results and watched your video. Bam, spot on!! For now we took out the fuse (I would have came to that conclusion anyway but your "in the meantime" part of the video helped with the mention of "stop" fuse - I would have looked for "brake"). Thank you soooo much! Absolute help.
Thank you walked out to my car today and It was completely dead. Put the jumper cables on and my break lights were on but headlights weren’t. Nothing was left on so I was confused. A quick “2002 Honda Accord brake lights staying on” search and in 3 minutes I found the fix. Whole lot better than jumping the car and chasing the problem for weeks to come. Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
That's what I am talking about! So nice to hear that something that can be so technical, can quickly become elementary. Nice job doingityourself!
Thank you ☺️ saved me 1 1/2 hour drive to my daughter in college. Sent her the video
Ha! So PERFECT!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much. I was literally going crazy about this in the morning since I was puzzled because my lights were on this morning. I'm glad I detected the problem early and it didn't drain my battery! Again thanks!
Awesome video! I got off from work this morning and got to my car and thought why are my break lights on.. 🤔
Came to TH-cam and you were the first video that popped up. I looked on the floor and immediately saw that the plug had come out. I popped it back into place and just like that issue solved.
Thank you for posting..
Thank you man!! This was really helpful!. Came back home from work and was so much anxious as i had to park my car outside and it was late evening with all the mechanic shops closed. This helped me a LOT!! Thank you again bro.
Thank you so much...Tow Guys came to pick up the car to tow it to the shop and diagnosed the problem. Your video (and the Tow Guy) are saving me a bundle and some precious time. Mahalo!
Ha ha! Talk about the nick-of-time!
Glad it all worked out
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thank you so much for this vid. I got to work this morning and one of my co-workers told me that tail light were still on after I had been at work for about an hour. I went down and was amazed that they were lit up bright red and I could not get them to shut off. My co-worker mentioned something about this possibly being the problem and I researched and found your video. This was exactly my problem. After reading some of the other comments, I think that I am going to use the bolt and nut option. A more permanent fix. Thanks so much for this quick and easy fix.
I had a similar problem with my Honda Accord 1998. Your video saved me from the stress. Thanks for sharing this video.
Man , your a life saver ! Fixed my wife’s care when I seen the brake lights on in the middle of the night , had to get up and take the battery off then I woke up early and fixed the problem ! You made it simple and easy thank you 🔥🔥
My pleasure... and thank you for taking the time to comment. 👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you! It was too late when I got home to get to an auto parts store. Although my Accord is a '92, you gave me enough info to find the fuse, pull it, and go to sleep knowing the car will start tomorrow. This was the perfect info.
Perfect !!! Video explanation is awesome !!! I found broken pieces on the floor of my Honda Accord 2000 as you said.. I bought the parts from autozone for $8. I removed the fuse to avoid battery draining... Will fix the pedal stop tomorrow in daylight ...Thank you very much !!!
Awesome...nice job tackling that job yourself. 👍
Thank you sir!! This happened to my daughter last night and we bought the bumper for $10.99 and my step down replaced it ❤️… super helpful
Holy crap, i replaced the switch and have been sweating for hours, didnt realize the PUSHING the button opens the switch….THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you from a single mom! I ran to the auto part store and my son just popped it in after watching your brake pedal bumper video. You saved me so much time, money and a battery!
Cindy!!!!! What a great story! Way to go taking the time to try and see if you could fix the problem yourself. Congratulations 👍
EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONS! I am a middle aged woman with no auto mechanic background and was able to understand and replace the brake bumper! thanks so so so very much for posting!
This video saved me money. Quick, easy, do it yourself... O'Reilly had the part it was fixed within 10 minutes
Thank you so much for this!! I didn't think I'd be able to do it by myself, but I did. Thanks again!!
Thanks so much for this video and all your explanation. I had the same problem and found the broken pieces on the floor. My local auto shop did not have it in stock so had to wait to order it. I appreciate the information about the fuse. As I don't have to drive this so often I just folded a small piece of cardboard and used it to act as the bumper so did not have to pull the fuse. These videos are so helpful!
Your a life saver I couldn't figure out why my car was dying all day. Seriously thank you!!!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Your daughter is so lucky to have you for a dad. I just went from scared to hell yeh I’m going to fix this, thanks to your video. You saved my Christmas I thought this was going to cost me $$$ to fix.
"I just went from scared to hell yeh I’m going to fix this" haha exactly my thoughts, 1 Christmas later! Worked for me too.
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Ya damn near made me choke up brother...so glade my video made it such an easy fix for you and so many others.
And good on you for taking on the challenge of fixing an "electrical" problem. It just goes to show that the time we spend stressing can sometimes consume more time than the actual repair itself.
And now you have unlocked the power of TH-cam and your ability to be HERO as you fix all sorts of things around the house. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
I can't thank you enough. Just like u said I found mine broken on the floor of the car. You saved the day.
excellent camera work, excellent narration. super helpful video.
Saved my bacon. Even pointed to the fact the broken piece was on the floorboard. Way to go! fixed faster than the time it takes to explain the problem to the guy I use when I can't fix it.
Thank you Sir whoever you are. I had this problem informed by my apartment guard at almost 1.30am. Too late to call anyone or to trouble anybody, I turn to the internet to help find a solution. I clicked on your video, and could not find the plastic, I learnt to turn off the fuse! Amazingly it works. This is the first time I fixed a problem in my car after driving for almost 35 years! A Big Thank You.
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thank you my man. That was so spot on what happened today to my elderly neighbor's '98 Accord. I even found the broken pieces. Headed to parts store now.
Life savor man or should I say Battery savor!! Great video. Just got my 2000 Honda Accord today and when I made it back home my brake lights were on when I turned off the car. Brake bumper fixed the issue!!
Thank you so much for taking the time out to make this video!!! It was truly helpful!!
Your video was so helpful! Fixed my parents' accord's brake light 2 mins after returning from the store.
Thanks for such a well shot video and clear, patient explanation. I found the crayon tip on the floor. It is night time so I haven't fixed it yet, but I took out the fuse. Thank you so much!
Great video - Neighbor walking by saw my brakelights on - thought I would have to disconnect the battery until I could troubleshoot in daylight...wait... maybe there's something on TH-cam and this came right up. Sure enough, broken plastic pieces on car mat - stuck a piece of cardboard until auto parts store opened next morning. My 2001 Honda with 240K miles now good as new much to spouse's chagrin! Hopefully the replacement part lasts as long but if not, now I know thanks to you!
Had this problem with our 94 Honda Accord and I was thinking there was a short somewhere in the electrical system. Glad I found this video. Great advice. Thanks!
Thank you! This video at 1: 30 to 1:50 saved us from the battery going dead tonight. My teenage daughter & I went out in the dark - and rain :( to see if she could get to the floorboard and tape up the hole til morning. Your video was so clear that she had no problems finding it on her car. Thanks again!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
This video was extremely helpful. Thanks so much for posting! I found some broken blue pieces of plastic on my floor earlier today but didn't know there was a problem until I went to the store tonight and noticed my lights still on.
So glad I could help. And good for you for taking the time to try and fix it yourself 👍
Thanks, esp for the clear photo of the stopper placement!
RELATED TIPS: Instead of pulling the fuse and driving without brake lights (chancing a rear-end collision, and/or a traffic citation); I just pulled the battery cable off when I parked (then put it back on when I was ready to drive again). BUT BEWARE, disconnecting your battery will erase your radio settings, so be sure to have your radio codes handy (ideally printed on a label inside your glove box)! RADIO RESET CODE TIPS: Some Honda dealers may provide your radio code for free, but most charge $15-35; Auto zone can provide your radio code for FREE, by using the engine analyzer!
Hi Karen... yeah....pulling the fuse would be just for saving the battery....not for driving without brake lights. 👍 good point.
Nice job fixing the brakes and great tip about the radio code👍
Your Honda looks just like mine! Your video was perfect!i got the part and fixed it myself. Took longer to watch the video than it did to fix it! Thank you for posting and thank you for the help!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
@@doitmyselfhomerepair1652 Me too !! Awesome !! Thank you so much !!
I know this was uploaded a long time ago but this helped me a lot fix my brake light issue! Thank you so much for the info!
Dude. You are a life/battery saver. After you said look on the ground for the broken pieces. There they were! Thanks a bunch
Awesome!
Nice job taking time to research and do it your self. 👍
Thanks. I used the double back penny trick until I could get to the parts store. Works!
As with the many other comments below, thank you so very much for your video! Went to my vehicle and sure enough, the plastic bumper had turned into 3 pieces and was laying on the floor. You are awesome!
Mine too 3 pieces.
Extremely helpful!!!! even on my civic...thank you for the detailed information
Fist thing that came up and this is exactly what my issue was! $5 fix. Really appreciate it man.
My sis's brake lights would not go off today and we were stumped as to why until I came across your video through a quick internet search. Never even knew anything about the stopper! We headed to O'Reilly Auto Parts, found the part, and installed it ourselves very easily with the help of your awesome video. Thank you for all your help! :)
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Sir,I want to thank you for saving my brand new battery.Excellent video.
thanks for the tip. I just came home from work this evening and my brakes lights wouldn't turn off. I kinda knew what was the problem since it happened to my '00 Honda Civic but I've since sold it and now have a '98 Accord. It was great to see this video with the same car.
Thank you so very much for this! This just happened to me when I got home and so glad I found your video! I have a 98 green Accord as well! Sure enough, after watching this, I found the brake bumper in two pieces on the floorboard. So glad you included how to remove the fuse as well b/c I was worried about the battery draining and not working tomorrow when I can go get that part. Awesome- thank you!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
@@doitmyselfhomerepair1652 Thank you for showing the actual part one needs for this, but especially for showing the location of the fuse. The schematic spells out "power window motor" and "power seat fore/aft" (neither of which I have anyway), but only puts "stop" for what should rightfully say "brake lights"! (I'm an old woman and don't need this aggravation.)
Thanks for this video and the two penny method. I really didn't want to go out tonight and now I've bought myself time to get the part myself.
Thanks for the video. This happened to me last night and finding this saved me so much time and money!
Thank you for this great video! Usually, people skip parts because they assume their audience knows mechanics (I'm a Spanish teacher, I know nada about cars). However, you showed me exactly where everything is! And I did find the little piece on the floor!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Way to go!!! Taking on the challenge of fixing an electric problem on your car...come to find out...it wasn't electrical at all.
muy bueno!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thank You so much!!!!! I just fixed my honda!!! Yay!!! I paid 4.99$ for my part.
Because of your video, I was able to save time (my brother didn't have to come & fix it), money (I thought about taking it to shop) & my sanity (I tend to say F-It quickly). Thanks for posting this & helping me to self diagnose the problem.
You're the man! I had this problem with my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. I bought the brake pedal stop pad at autozone, and fixed it. Thanks!
Thank you Google, TH-cam, and this channel. Had this problem last night, disconnected one battery post so my battery wouldn't drain. Went to dealership and paid a little over $10 for the "brake pedal switch bumper" (next time I'm in AutoZone I'll ask what they charge) and fixed this in two minutes. Had to turn the engine on in order to depress the brake pedal enough (as mentioned elsewhere) to stick in the bumper. It's a bit of a tight squeeze underneath there, but the job was so easy with these directions. Thanks!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Super thanks. I just fixed my car temporarily. It is 2:58 am here. Came out from work and saw tail light. Your video gonna save the battery. Thanks a lot
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
replaced one a few years ago but had forgot about it. Used a screw and nut temp until i can get the plastic tab tomorrow. Great video thanks!!!
Thank you for this! I have a 2001 Civic and had to use the black one vs. white. But thank God it was a super easy $8 fix. For anyone aprehensive about doing it, it's literally turning the panel knob, popping it off, putting the stopper in, putting the panel back and done. I'm not into cars or fix them. I'm actually a girly girl and I was cool with fixing it.
You just made my day. Thank you!
this is impressive, I had a similar problem some few mins ago and I just followed the process in this video, it worked perfectly! thank you so much for posting this
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
I just had exact problem tonight, like what you said, I found the broken bumper in the car and put it back, the lights are off. Will buy the new bumper to get problem fixed. Thank you so much for this great video!!!
Thank u so much for ur video, u saved me from Unnecessarily buying a battery, I noticed my tail lights were on and draining my battery, thank u so so so much
Thanks for the video. This was the only one I found that showed exactly where to place the part.
Thank you so much this video helped me tremendously. And I changed it myself 😀
Thank you for posting this one brother! It saved my weekend!!!
OMGEEE THANK GOD FOR HELPFUL VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!! I thought I had a car computer problem or something. But this was exactly the issue THANKS!!!!! 2 THUMBS UP!
This was right on time, thanks buddy.
Have a 96 Accord, going to give it a shot. Really appreciate the afterthought of disabling the lights until part obtained. Made it look easy, hoping this is the fix for me. Thanks!
Thank you also I noticed before the stopper broke. My brake light warning sign has been on. Before this problem actually happened. Giving me a warning that the brake pedal stopper was probably bout to break off. Thanks again great video.
Thank you for such useful information. It has helped me correct this problem on my 2000 Honda Accord. I wish, I had watched this video first. I didn't know the fuse box option to disconnect the back lights. I disconneted my battery
Thank you! At first I thought, nah this is too simple, I don't even see any broken plastic. But when I got down there sure enough, little pieces! Easy fix, gotta love it :)
I feel like my dad just helped me. Thank you!!! This video was perfect.
Hazel - Baaahaaahaaa too funny. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. 👍
dude thank you for making this video. saved me a headache. you’re awesome dude
Excellent video! Much thanks for diagnosing and showing me how to solve my problem.
Thank you for this video. My son just made his first car repair because of you. Thanks a million.
That is the best ever comment! Thank you.
And ya know, when you learn you can teach yourself, you become very powerful.
