2008 Hyundai Sonata Stop Light Switch Replacement, Brake Light Fuses

[@sanityone649]

The brake switch pad under the brake switch is under extended warranty. 15 years with unlimited mileage according to the Hyundai parts department. The little rubber piece is what I'm talking about. I have an appointment this Wednesday to have mine replaced for free. My car: 2014 Sonata with 117,000 miles. (You'll need to call about your car.)

[@LehewTech]

Thanks for that info!

[@sanityone649]

@@LehewTech Very good videos. Another bit of advice for the viewers. The pin-out on the Sonata brake switch comes in two varieties...blade and pin. The brake switches look exactly alike, save for the type of pins in the electrical connector and they're not interchangeable. Other than my 2014 Sonata, I've only seen one other brake switch with pins and that was in your video where you demonstrated removing and replacing the brake switch on the wrecked 2013 Sonata with the blown steering wheel airbag. Apparently, the blade type connectors are much more popular. Maybe Sonata changed to a pin configuration and smaller connector in 2014 on their brake switches.

Having same issue. ESC light is on. Walked out of store and brake lights are on. Great video. Of course there is a thunderstorm right now and I am sunburned. Waiting for rain to stop.

[@philipevans8704]

Thanks bro. Extremely thorough and helpful for almost everything I could encounter

[@danlacey5270]

Thank you for making this video. This appears to be the same switch on my mom's Hyundai Santa Fe of the same vintage. I need to swap out her brake light switch today.

[@vickierobinson424]

This was a good video visually with clear instructions. Thanks!👍

[@mariut00]

such a small little detail causes such a problem, I didnt notice that there was a hole there before, i was fidgeting with the sensor and somehow got it to accomodate with the prong not aligned to the hole and was ok, today brake light kept on and i knew it had something to be in there but i didnt even noticed the hole for the pad before, i dont have one but ill figure something out. Thanks for this video

[@demetrijefferson904]

Thank you for this video. This save me time and money.

[@samcohen5705]

Thanks , maybe that will fix my issue. If not , really good video.

[@ounces01]

Thanks! Your video really helped me out!

[@mootpointless]

You'd make a great teacher...You broke it down so a mechanical moron like myself understood..With my car, it's tail lights on as we speak...I wonder if battery will get drained by light staying on ..I'm sure I'll have that answer in morning...

[@PerryScanlon]

Thanks for the video. When you say "top" and pins 1 and 2, do you mean the pins farthest from the white button? My switch only connects the pins closest to the white button. I don't want to go sticking a paper clip in the sockets unless I'm really sure.

[@CIGGETSBIZZY]

Where can I get the little rubber piece from I have a 09 ?

[@lionelsaintnk2070]

Thank you for this video , it saved me

[@peterprimes497]

My esc Off light comes on after driving for about 45 minutes & it causes the car to sputter when i step on accelerator. Would replacing this fix the problem?. Thanks for video

[@MrGetzenwithit]

Well done. If the little rubber stopper fails, you can stick a plastic body part screw in there in a pinch.

[@isabellasalazar8383]

What can I use if I my nearby auto store dont have the rubber piece . Mine on my 2007 Hyundai Sonata is missing.

[@pir8grl08]

Is the brake light switch set up the same in all cars? I have a 2010 Hyundai Accent with a brake light switch issue as well.

[@jamesjaxer]

Thanks to your video, it only took me a few min to find and fix the problem

[@KimsNatureChannel]

Would this part burning out cause the front driver side brakes to lock up? I've had an issue with my front driver's side brakes ever since I lost the little part that normally falls out that pushes in the brake light... Young man at the auto store rig me one for temporarily until my part came in. Ever since last week my front driver's side brake has been locking up. Also giving me an esc light. We changed the brakes, rotors and calipers. Still the one side keeps locking up after a few miles. Help! I just bought this switch thinking maybe it's bad.

[@LehewTech]

Did you change the brake hose going to the caliper?

[@dante777666777]

Was the repair needed due to the ESC Iight coming on?.Wifes vehicle will stall and not want to run.

[@davidmann4144]

Thank you. This was helpful

[@Morenata19]

If you’re breaks are still on after make sure the bolt attached to the switch isn’t all the way deep of it’s still trouble shooting it could be because you made the same mistake having someone tell u if the lights are still on is most recommended

[@charlessather3248]

I have a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe what can I use if that rubber piece is gone the threads on the switch broke in half so I glued it the way was. Im having a hard time getting the switch out back in.

[@fstez6389]

Thank you this is my issue!

[@rbernal78]

Thank you. Such a big help

[@Spencer1609751]

I almost needed a third Hand! It worked for a 07 Hyundai Santa Fe.

[@Anolivo1]

Thanks to all for the great information. Some time The autmatic gear of my sonata 2014 does not goes to "R" from "N" unless I turn off the car. Ones my garage changed the Stop Light Switch to fix the pbm. After three months i have ocasionally the same problem. I was wondering if there is a relation ship beween this problem and the Stop Light Switch. Any experience ? Thank you so much to all of you

[@thetruth23j]

Neutral safety switch

[@ledzeproberts2111]

Hi buddy. Hyundai accent 2006 Brake lights not working Guess good Bulbs good Fitted new switch Still no good Any ideas ??

[@NextProgrammer]

Thank you for the step by instruction on how to fix it. Mine is the disintegrated rubber pad. Brake lights always stays on even if I turned off the vehicle.

[@jennifergomez2222]

Pull up the brake when u shut it off and the lights go off.

[@NextProgrammer]

@@jennifergomez2222 i already fixed it by cutting out a slipper and stick it there. Im pretty sure it wont break like they originally put

[@aboissa1097]

Excellent video

[@cindyvibbert2078]

But my brake lights only stay on while the engine is running like while I'm driving down the road any suggestions

[@kenziamstutz1097]

There’s another one that looks like it mines hanging and I can figure out what it’s called and my ESC off light is on I recently got in a accident

[@pedroteixeira6168]

Isn't it the same switch? This happened on my Hyundai Azera. All of these happened because of this single piece: - ESC OFF light on; - Brake light stuck on (only sometimes) while driving, which can cause accidents; - Gearshift lever stuck on "P" (needed to use the release button to drive); - Cruise control did not work at all.

[@z123campion16]

Great Explanation. If it the rubber piece is deteriorated , can I just buy it or I need the whole switch? Thank you.

[@LehewTech]

The rubber piece is sold separately from the switch. A Hyundai dealership should be able to get you one. In times of emergency I have resorted to improvised repairs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXSUqJWimsyJaaM

[@knoleng8590]

Use 2 nuts and a screw

[@mothball5425]

Great video thankyou

[@jennifergomez2222]

That base orange thing fell apart. What can I put there?

[@vsbaratinho]

the dirt cheap temp solution would be a penny and some tape. that would hold for a few days. DAYS, not weeks, months or YEARS.

[@vsbaratinho]

OR two nuts and one bolt. Nut in the bolt, bolt in the hole with the head towards the sensor, another nut in the other side of the bolt. Better than a penny for sure.

[@jennifergomez2222]

I just got a stopper at the dealership for two bucks

[@lgstar3363]

What if only my back right hand brake light stays on! Connectors wires fuses bulbs all working

[@jaserdegante]

Hello 👋 Lehew Tec. I would like to know if you could help me with some information or maybe a video of the Hazzard ligths on a Hyundai Sonota 08 I been having some trouble with the Hazzard lights they go off most of the time and the dont go on , so sometimes Im not able to put my signals rigth/ left when Im driving , I hope you can help me with this issue 😭 I already check the fuses under the wheel and under the hood but they're fine so It might be some switch located somewhere else, really hope you can help me 🙏, I love your videos by the way . Regards .

[@josevillarreal1015]

What's the name at the part

[@phenox1]

WHY DO THEY MAKE THAT HOLE? IF IT WASN'T THERE, THE LIGHT GO ON AND OFF AS IT SUPPOSE TO.

[@zuck9090]

The hole got there from constant brake use and summer heat

[@vsbaratinho]

@@zuck9090 he's talking about the idiotic hole in the metal strut that fits the plunger perfectly, which makes the whole assembly useless without the plastic part that deteriorates over time. Without the hole it would work against the metal. it would be a simple design that just works. This looks like planned obsolescence that could result in accidents on the road from the guy behind you or, in the best case scenario, a dead battery from the light on after the car being shut off.

[@mothball5425]

The hole holds the plastic piece and the plastic piece stops scraping on the switch plunger I think

[@ledzeproberts2111]

Fuses good

[@jeffadam3179]

Wasn’t this a recall?

[@PerryScanlon]

I think for some years and models it depends on the country of sale, but they should have assumed all countries. This is the 2nd time I'm replacing mine. 1st time was dealer.

[@AMC-eq3jr]

Now try replacing the third brake light without taking the car apart.
