Great video. This helped my son temporarily fix the brake lights on his 2001 Toyota Corolla that wouldn’t turn off. He just removed the fuse and will take the car to the shop sometime later. Thank you very much. The video was great and the narration was great.
Thanks heaps man. Super simple and straight-to-the-point. Incredibly helpful when I got home at 11.30pm and my brake lights stayed on. Fixed in less than 10 mins coz of this video. Thanks again
Thank you very much for the video. It's one of the better TH-cam help videos because you get right to the point and I didn't have to stand on my head to figure everything out to make my lights to go back off! In the rain I might add..
Thank you for having this here. It's close to midnight and I was going crazy about my car battery dying. I popped that fuse right out, and I get to rest easy at least until tomorrow.
Thanks bro just purchased my first car 2 days ago its a 1999 Corolla, i was pulling it in the garage the night i bought and realized the break lights wouldnt turn off, so my sisters boyfriend told me to disconnect the battery so the lights wouldnt drain it. Had tondo that everytime i came from somewhere cuz theybl would stay on, went to the toyota dealership yesterday morning ordered the plunger part you were talking about , picked it up a coulpe hours ago and fixed it. Though it was a little cramped. Thanks so much bro you save me from having to buy a new sensor
Wonderful, thank you! As someone who knows very little about cars, you've allowed to me to identify the issue based on the broken stopper on my floor mat, and remove the fuse so my battery doesn't go flat while I arrange to purchase and install a new stopper. Very clear video and much appreciated!
Excellent, saw some black rubber stuff on my floorboard and just thought it was trash. Went to install the new brake switch and couldn't figure out what was wrong. Pulled this video up and realized instantly I didn't have rubber plunger grommet piece. Thank you for showing this!
Thanks for the video it is well done. I had a Toyota parts store close and bought the brake light switch cushion for $4 rather than the Dorman, Elsewhere I read starting the engine allows the brake to depress further and then slipping the cushion in is no problem. I was more worried about doing myself damage dislocating something crawling up under there and getting back out.
Nailed it. That was super quick on troubleshooting. Thanks for the solution. 👌 My 2001 Corolla brake lights seemed to be stuck on. The little plastic piece under the brake pedal (as mentioned in the video) was shattered and laying on the mat at my feet. I simply pulled the fuse (also as mentioned in this video), and the lights went out, thus preserving my battery until an appropriate repair can be made. 🙏 😅
You’re a g! Spent some time in that pedal box and didn’t notice the spacer in between the pedal assembly and the switch…. I hope just that it’ll do it! Cheers to pick n pull
Very informative and clear. Thanks for good demo of the wire harness clip and how best to adjust the switch on installing a replacement. Got the job done quickly (removal of spring to access the lock nut was helpful)and was able to fine tune the brake pedal pressure so brake lights come on with just light foot pressure like they’re supposed to. Kudos!
Ugh, I was stoked to find this and found that the issues was that little rubber stopper, but it wouldn't stay in and finally disintegrated. I hesitantly bought a new one but installing it is like the most difficult thing I've had to do to a Toyota. This seems an odd design. Follow up: I simply unplugged and backed out the switch a couple mm and it popped right in, after contorting myself like a ballerina.
My friend's dad is a mechanic, and he figured out you can remove this paper clip-looking pin and a brass rod, and that lets you push the pedal back further. Thus, didn't have to remove the whole switch. It's in a super crampt spot.
Thanks for video. First time writing on here. I own an old Toyota Matrix 2004, basic model. There's an issue with the rear brake light on the right. Left side is fine. Tried to change the bulb. it's not that. Pushing break pedal only lights the left side. I also noticed that when the engine is off, and I turn the headlights to high beams, the lights in the back also light up - and both sides. - all the lamps! I know, this sounds like a mistery. Any advice would be aprreciated. Thx.
I have a 08 and I checked fuzes all good, just replaced the break light switch. Buy only my 3rd tail light Illuminate. Which multifunction Switch. should I replace? Or fix the problem
I have a 99 Camry both of my outer brake lights are failing my sensor bar still works turn signals work running lights work display out heater control unit out do you think this could be linked
Good video but you make it look easy, that switch is way up under there on my 2002 Corolla, did you remove any dash panels first to give more room? I practically have to stand on my head just to see it. thanks.
@@honeywilliams9716 It turned out my towing package shorted out the system and popped the fuse.....if theres no power going through the stop circuit it doesn't tell your gear shift sensor the brake is on and its ok to shift
1 bulb only not lighting up maye be that one bulb needs replacement. It is likely the same bulb type as the 2 rear brake lights (they come in a 2-pack and are cheap). Replace the suspect bulb to start and only get a new switch AFTERWARDS if needed...
@@herkhailes no, we have a temporary solution of a penny and two velcro command strips haha but will probably try removing that brass rod and pin from the brake pedal...the switch looks more difficult to get to in person
there is an A/C plastic tube that blocks any view of the brake light switch on a 2000 Corolla CE and you do not even mention problems getting to the switch itself...

Thank you bro, this video really helped me looked down on the floor mat, and there it was, the plastic plunger .

Brilliantly done mate! This resolved my issue! I’m going to get that plunger as I diagnosed that to be the issue!

Good coverage it is a tight squeeze but watching this video several times really helped!
Thank you! I found that little plunger in pieces on the floor. Part ordered. This should fix my problem provided I can get it in. Thanks again!!!!
Excellent camera quality and very well explained! Thank you so much!
Thanks!
Thank you for posting this. I got to my car last night and saw it was on and won’t go off. I’ll be using your video as reference to fix it on my own.
Excellent, saw some black rubber stuff on my floorboard and just thought it was trash. Went to install the new brake switch and couldn't figure out what was wrong. Pulled this video up and realized instantly I didn't have rubber plunger grommet piece. Thank you for showing this!
I found same rubber circle plastic pieces on my floor don't know if replace only the rubber and where it goes, or Buy another switch any help?
Great video. After you mentioned the plastic pieces on the floor matt I found my problem. Thanks bro.
@@freakinrican2919 should I just replace that plástic? Or need to Buy something else?
This was very informative and super helpful. Thank you.. ended up being the cushion piece.. And I found it on my floormats too

Thank you… a wonderful tutorial. You helped me so very much!
Best video on TH-cam for this..TY
Thanks homie, the plastic pad broke on my Corolla, I almost bought a new switch.
Thanks so much, Lehew Tech. Very helpful to solve my problem!
Thank you so much for this video - Led me to diagnose my problem very quickly -great job!

Also good logical step by step coverage.
Awesome video man! Thank you!

I switched out the small plastic piece now my brakes feel extremely stiff. Any suggestions
Would like to know years of interchange I have 97 corolla seems to be the same for many years and models
I have a 99 Camry both of my outer brake lights are failing my sensor bar still works turn signals work running lights work display out heater control unit out do you think this could be linked
Thanks so much
I am having this issue atm I am hoping it just the little white thing between the pedal and the switch
Very nice 👍
Good video but you make it look easy, that switch is way up under there on my 2002 Corolla, did you remove any dash panels first to give more room? I practically have to stand on my head just to see it. thanks.
Thanks JLC I did not remove any dash panels. It’s is a tight fit to contort into for sure. Good luck with your repairs.
Do you recommend getting an original Toyota switch, or will aftermarket do?
I have had good luck with aftermarket switches.
Where do I buy the rubber
Does anyone have a part number for a 2001 Corolla brake switch?
Does that switch control your cruise turning off and shifter release? Both stopped working in my corolla
I experienced similar, my car would not longer go in gear...had to press the gear release to get it out of park
@@honeywilliams9716 It turned out my towing package shorted out the system and popped the fuse.....if theres no power going through the stop circuit it doesn't tell your gear shift sensor the brake is on and its ok to shift
My3rd break light won’t work but all other lights work any idea?
1 bulb only not lighting up maye be that one bulb needs replacement. It is likely the same bulb type as the 2 rear brake lights (they come in a 2-pack and are cheap). Replace the suspect bulb to start and only get a new switch AFTERWARDS if needed...
Thanks for the video. Consider a new format so that you could use two hands for repairs.
How do you replace the plunger on the brake
How do you replace the plunger that goes on the brake pedal on a corrolà
How do u replace the plunger on the breaker pedal
Hey brother, I actually need that white rubber piece? What is that called if I go to the parts dept and ask,??
Dorman 74015
Any tips on replacing the white plunger piece? Should I remove the switch first? There doesn't seem to be enough room otherwise.
@dixie rose did you end up removing the switch first?
@@herkhailes no, we have a temporary solution of a penny and two velcro command strips haha but will probably try removing that brass rod and pin from the brake pedal...the switch looks more difficult to get to in person
@@dixierosestudios That works extremely well!
🤙
The tail light fuse, the one under the stop fuse, is supposed to be 10A, not 15.
Wrong
Right.
@@richnatural6429 Right.
Wrong it's 15 A the graph is on the back of the change compartment
@@honeywilliams9716 Right
2001 part looks nothing like 2002 paart.
there is an A/C plastic tube that blocks any view of the brake light switch on a 2000 Corolla CE and you do not even mention problems getting to the switch itself...
chur my maori
