take the car to an auto electrition
put your foot on the brake pedal and press down while some one looks at the brake light to see if it lights up
That warning light means a light bulb is out. Check all of your brake lights (including the brake light on the rear dash!)
More than likely there is a switch near the top of the brake pedal that is faulty. It usually looks like a small button that is released when you press on the brake pedal which turns on the brake lights.
Brake pads need to be replaced
Running lights (left side): Fuse #47 -- Running lights (right side): Fuse #48 -- Brake lights: Fuse #54. Fuse panel is on the lower left side (underneath) the dashboard. NOTE: If it is your brake lights that are not working and fuse # 54 looks okay, check the brake light switch, it may have gone bad.
AnswerThe brake light switch will probably need replacing. This is normally located on the arm of the brake pedal. Looks like a push button switchSee "Related Questions" below for more
It's in the top of the rear window, it almost looks like the defogger wires, except it's not a straight wire. Note: If you are having FM reception problems, especially when the rear window defogger is on, it could be that one (or more) of the defogger wires are broken. It'll be in one of two places. The Windwhield or Rear Window. It's a wire inside of the glass. Hope this helps. tj
Depends on the vehicle; could be drum/shoe arrangement with cable actuation; could be rear disc brake pads with cable or could be rear disc brake with inner shoe and drum inside the rotor.
Follow your brake pedal up towards the steering column about 12 inches. When you press the brake you will see it comes back to rest on a part that looks like a thick threaded screw with a small black plastic cylinder that goes in and out of the end of the screw. Looks like very small spark plug. That is the Brake Switch. When you press the brake the little black cylinder pops out and turns your brake lights on. When you release the brake there is another piece of plastic on the brake pedal arm that comes to rest on the switch and turns your brake lights off. If your brake lights are staying on, the piece of plastic on the pedal arm is most likely in pieces on your floorboard, It looks like a flat disc or washer about the size of penny, width and roundness,on the brake pedal arm. You can replace it with anything about the same size. Make sure its wide enough to hit your brake switch but not so wide that it makes your brakes drag.
The switch is located at the top of the steering column near the brake pedal. There is a bracket attached to the brake pedal that contacts and opens the switch when the brake is not being applied. Push on the brake the switch closes, and the lights come on. Look up the switch on Autozone.com or equivalent to see what it looks like. It's very hard to spot where it's at. Good luck Answer i believe there is a switch on the brake pedal lever near the top. I will go look on my jeep when I go back outside. Also, the brake light circuit has its own fuse separate from the signal lights.
it means that one of your brake lights are out .thats why it only lights up when you hit the brakes. once you replace it , the light will go off.
I believe it's a poor ground contact possibly within the switch itself. if your car is rusty look for external ground contacts and make sure that they are on clean shiney metal. If all looks good i'd replace the switch.
