Why would brakes get hard to press down then engine shut off Brake light and engine light came on and now the car will crank but not turn over?
Perhaps a vacuum leak, Check all hoses
Why would your brake lights not come on when you press on the brake pedal on a 95 Buick Regal?
Most likely it is either the brake light switch, under the dashboard, connected to the brake pedal or the turn signal switch inside the steering column.
How do you turn headlights off while conditioner running in the car on a Kia Rio?
In this order only. Turn engine off. Depress parking brake. Turn engine on. Lights will turn off. To turn lights back on relase parking brake.
When you turn off the engine of a 1994 Cutlass Ciera why would the tail-lights remain on?
Check the brake light switch, it's under the dashboard, connected to the brake pedal.
How do you check a hydraulic brake servo?
With the engine off, press hard on the brake pedal. Turn the engine on and the pedal should depress slightly but no more than an inch or two. If your brakes either drag or stick on, or sometimes the pedal goes real hard under foot it means your servo is shot!
What do you do if your brake lights only work when you pull back on your high beems in a buick reagal and how can it be fixed andor what is making this happen?
I have the same problem- press on the brake, no brake lights. Press on the brake and pull back on turn signal/high beams lever, brake lights turn on! Jiggle the lever, brake lights turn on, but left turn signal does not work. I have replaced the switch that is down near the brake pedal and that is not the problem. I think you may need to replace the whole turn signal/high beams/cruise control switch....or at least that's what I'm going to try.
Why is braking difficult after car runs out of gas?
Newer cars have a Power Brake Booster (or Power Disc Brake system). This system adds hydraulic pressure to the brake system, so when you push the brake pedal, it increases the pressure on the brake pads with hydraulic power. When the car is off, you loose the additional power provided by this hydraulic system. The brakes still work, you just need to push harder. Typically after the engine cuts off, the first time you press the brake it is somewhat normal (hydraulic pressure still in the system) but after that, the pedal becomes harder to press. It is the same concept with Power Steering - you have hydraulic assistance with the engine on, but none with it off (turn the key on without the engine on and turn the wheel - it is possible, just hard).
Can a Mazda Van MPV get messed up by trying to turn it on but pressing the brake at the same time?
no, you should have to press the brake to shift out of park

It could be a fuse. If the brake lights do not turn on when you press the brake pedal check your fuses under your dash.
Brake light wont turn on when press brake pedal also my cruise control broke same time?
My mechanic had to change a switch inside the steering column. Brake lights worked when turn signal was on. Have a mechanic check that.
Your radio turns off and on in your 1998 Honda Accord LX?
Check for a loose fuse, check your wiring, check the connections, sounds like something is loose. Also make note as to when it turn off, are pressing the brake? using the turn signal? I had a firebird that every time I press the brake the signal lights would turn on and the radio would turned off, that turned out to be I used the wrong bulb in my brake lights
What does it mean when you depress brake pedal your lights go dim each time?
depress the brake pedal and turn the engine switch to the start posiiton and start the engine,,, Does this mean to hold the brake down until you hear the engine start.
