Brake Lights
Contents |
Overview
If your brake lights are always 'on' and do not light up upon engagement of brakes you might have a faulty brake sensor (or it came out of the pedal assembly bracket).
Accessing
Sensor is located just above brake pedal (left side), plugged in face down. When pedal is up it should 'click' the sensor which in turn turns off your brake lights.
Replacement
Replacement is straight forward, but to save you some time I will provide you with an extra tip on how to properly take it out and install it. The sensor has a small hooks on each side, if you do not move the red tip and switch all the way up, you will brake the sensor and it will no longer hold it self in the position.
The secret is to get a flat head and push switch all the way up, followed up by red outer plastic. That will let the hooks to be fully depressed. (After installing/removing push down on the switch to put it back in place).
Adjustments
If pedal does not fully press in the switch, feel free to raise the switch up slightly until full contact is possible.
