Want this question answered?
A dashboard light appearing when brake pedal is depressed usually means brake fluid is low.
It is the distance between floorboard and pedal top, when the brake pedal is fully depressed (after applying brakes).
check the brake pedal, there is a switch on the back of the pedal that depressed when the brake is depressed that turns the lights on, when this is loose it keeps the lights on.
Check rear bulbs, rear brake bulb fuse, and check the swith on the brake pedal.
Brake lights are on continuously while you are driving. Every time the brake pedal is depressed.

If both brake light bulbs fail to come on when the brake is depressed I'd check first to see if there may be a fuse that controls the brake light circuit. If there is no fuse and/or the fuse appears to be okay, the most likely culprit is a faulty brake light switch. This switch is located up and behind the brake pedal. There is a plunger that moves in and out acting as a switch when the brake pedal is depressed. It is this switch which possibly may be the culprit.
It is because the brake light switch under the brake pedal is faulty. usually replacing this will solve the problem. it is designed in such a way that when the brake pedal is depressed the switch completes a circuit and the lights come on. the fault occurs when the switch closes the circuit even though the pedal is not depressed. hope this helps.
Possibly the brake light switch at the brake pedal has stayed depressed or stuck.
The brake pedal has a hinge or pivot pin, give it a shot of lubricant,should stop squeaking.
Check the brake switch under your pedal (which needs to be pushed when the brake pedal is depressed). This is what the problem was on my friends Sentra. As long as you have checked the lights and fuses, this should do it.
Shifter is blocked by a device attached to the brake pedal. If the brake pedal is not depressed it wont allow you to change out of park. There should also be a bypass button next to the shifter, in case the cable to the pedal breaks.
