Brake light switch, goto your Hyundai dealership, buy the part for $15 and install it
The reason for the brake light's staying on are that the switch is faulty, To find the switch, look at the brake pedal and follow it up to just below the dash area, the switch is located on a bracket, pull off the wire's and unscrew it from the bracket. buy a replacement (about
The switch is located on the brake pedal. Undo bolt & wire & replace switch. Note adjustment before removing old switch if you've not replaced one before. You my want to use a mulitmeter (digital with continuity function) to test it before you buy one.
i fixed this problem by replacing the brake light switch that seemed to be working fine otherwise.. in a a fit of rage in frustration i shattered the old one off the pedal and had to buy a new one, magically now my lights work.
The problem points to the directional/lights and hazard switch. The brake light wiring is part of that circuit.You can buy the switch after market it is about $70.00.
i believe you need to buy a comlete new break switch.if the lever on the break switch is vertical to the floor,i think it might be bad.
First you buy a good-quality 3rd brake light kit appropriate for the mounting angle on your particular car -- see the links below for examples. If your car's left and right brake lights are separate from the left and right rear turn signals (different bulbs for the brake lights and turn signals), then you just follow the instructions with the kit. If your car has combination brake/turn lights (the same red light burns steadily for brake light or flashes for turn signal) then you must run a new wire from the brake light switch to the rear of the car to feed the new 3rd brake light -- cars with combination brake/turn lights route power from the brake light switch through the turn signal switch and then from there to the back of the car; if you try to get away without running the new wire, the 3rd brake light won't work properly and you'll backfeed other lighting circuits with random results.
the brake light switch is behind the brake pedal just adjust it all the way out and brakes will come back on switch generally will not go bad but my crx and mr2 both have needed adjustments if the switch is bad go to radio shack and buy a momentary pushbutton clamp it to the same pillar switch over both wires and let there be brake lights luckily by 98 civic hasn't need this yet but im burning threw transmissions like it was fun to swap them. anyone else?
Go to dealership and buy a plastic piece that goes on the brake pedal to turn the switch on and off. This little plastic snaps into place. The insert breaks after years of use and can easily be replaced by holding the brake pedal down and push it into place.
90% of the time if you buy a new brake lamp switch for $15 bucks and install it yourself, it will get rid of this problem.
I've had great success with Hawk Strictly Suzuki on line at http://www.hawksuzukiparts.com/
If you have directional lights, tail lights, and hi - mount brake light that works but no lower brake lights, replace the multi-function switch on the steering column. Order from MONSTER Auto Parts online for about $90.00. Buy from dealer 300-400.00. Parts house 200-300. No need to replace the 4 way flasher even though they do not work. They will when you replace the MultiFunction switch. Good luck!
