The brake lights on my DA seem to be stuck on… any suggestions for where to look first?

For now I just unplugged the ground from the battery, didn’t want to drain it…

thanks for any help :slight_smile:

Look on the break pedal you might need to replace the little rubber thing that pushes the button in on the switch behind the pedal.

OEM Part # 46505-SA5-000

looking for the switch and can’t seem to find it… how far up the pedal is it, and is there any easy way to get at it?

Here is a picture of it.

Yep, just went and looked and the rubber stopper was in pieces on my floor… dunno how I missed that before.

Will I have to order it from a dealer or something? I take it a junkyard one will likely disintegrate when I remove it.

I would just get a new one. That’s what I did.

I replaced it with a metal screw. At least that won’t break down over the years.

duct tape and a penny in the meantime

The local dealer had it in stock, cost me under $3 including tax. It’s also now a white plastic piece as opposed to the black and blue rubber one that was there before.

I’ll be surprised if I still have this car in 5 years, let alone the 20 years that the original lasted - so I’m not too concerned with the replacement part going bad.
