Brake lights dont turn off

How to fix your brake lights on your car.

[@adaaurigemma4168]

I called a mechanic shop he made it sound so complicated and gave me a price of $100.00 to fix said parts alone would cost $40.00, I am a 64 year old woman , looked at your video and I got a screw and nut and fixed it myself in 5 to 10 minutes. great easy to understand video. Thank you!

[@Mudmonkeyrepair]

That is awesome to hear!!

[@mylittlescienceproject]

Wish I would have known this before. I spent the 11 bucks for a switch

[@nando.g8077]

Ada Aurigemma wow, you watch KZbin videos yourself, or did a friend or daughter or son tell you about KZbin

[@taowhid07]

Are you sure that is safe?

[@angelsanes5775]

💪🏾

[@mielsteele]

Señor Dominguez!!!! I have been struggling for 15 min trying to get the plug in!! You were the only video that mentioned TURNING ON THE CAR to make the brake pedal easier to depress!! This created the extra room I needed to insert the plug!! Thank you SO MUCH!! 👍😀

[@Mudmonkeyrepair]

That's awesome

[@TherealIcedee]

I've seen a lot of these videos about replacing the rubber stopper/ bumper but you said something that made a light go off in my head. You mentioned that your vehicle was ON. Nobody else said anything about your car or SUV being on. You get so much more play out of the brake when the car is on. Thanks Carlos!

[@ashleehurt7304]

for anyone needing to know. He used a license plate fasteners kit [Dorman 785‑122]. Fixed my problem with the brake light staying on and my cruise control not working.

[@JakeHussDrums]

Ashlee Hurt thank you!

[@Eriqv1]

THANK YOU!!! 10 years later and this video is still helping people lol this was so helpful and my battery would have been dead by the morning if it wasn't for this video lol

[@Legendarykids305]

Thank you very much for this video I just did this to my 2007 infinity g35 Our mechanic told us bring it in and $200 😒 we watched your video,a quick drive to our local auto part store and 5 minutes later wallaaaaa job was done

[@jaypadilla4919]

Worked on Honda CRV 2001, helpful video I used a 1/4 20 bolt and nut works just as good. Thanks

[@Mudmonkeyrepair]

you can get him anywhere at your locals auto parts store go to the counter and ask him for plastic screws. you won't miss them.

[@janetlorna07]

You have saved people money and time. Bless you❤

[@waleskamahonez9528]

Tengo ese mismo problema y como estoy operada no puedo doblarse para hacerlo yo misma😣

[@waleskamahonez9528]

You use plate kit?

[@Crlpope]

@@waleskamahonez9528 Yes it is 4 screws the plastic ones are best others will work.

[@Mudmonkeyrepair]

yes just about every brake sensor is similar to the one on the video

[@distantarray8490]

Thanks 96 cents walmart license plate screws worked for my g37 2008

[@stevex7479]

Helps a lot bro. Got the first sensor fix and the light was still on. Didn’t know there was a second sensor.

[@spiritwomanwalking]

Thank You so much for explaining the process and showing how it's done up close enough to really see..how it is suppose to work. You Rock !

[@bethewholeu4532]

Best tutorial on this issue that I found. I actually found the broken plastic brake sensor pad. On the floor of my car under the pedal. You saved me so much time and money, a BIG thank you!

[@zaharishtonov8837]

Same exact discovery made here 😄 Thank goodness for videos like this one!

[@rubtamez8157]

Orale thank you great idea

[@letitiavaughan947]

Thanks for being kind enough to share your knowledge!

[@63stratoman]

What an absolutely asinine design! All they had to do was make a dimple in the brake pedal stamping where they put that stupid plastic button that popped out! It’s almost as if Nissan designed this to break! I found the exact same thing with my son’s Nissan Versa and found a large wood screw that I cut down to fit. Didn’t have a bolt so I JB welded it in place! Thanks for the tip!

[@iLoveMelakaCars]

Good video. Tq

[@GoogleUser-MrsC]

Thanks Carlos! You really made it easy for a girl like me who is "mechanically challenged". You ROCK! 👍👍

[@Jedi-For-Hire]

Man this video was a godsend. Literally took me 5 minutes to fix after watching this video. Luckily my fiance is 5 foot nothing so I made her crawl under while I held the brake pedal. Thanks again man.

[@Borderican]

You got superb camera skills to give us this type of image!!! Much appreciated!

[@badfender223]

Thank You Carlos - you saved me a lot of money.

[@TherealIcedee]

Me too

[@oscarcontreras400]

Thanks Bro .. Help me out..

[@denerorahming7298]

always bet on black :-)

[@samuraimaur]

bro i just saw this video my g37 wouldn’t go past 40 and i look at this video and the whole problem is fixed i had shops charge my 150 then i had another shop charge me 50 and infiniti charged me 260 just to diagnose the problem!

[@lupitaayala3690]

Carlos I used your video a year ago to fix my son's car, today I watched again the video for my car. Thank you soo much!

[@AngelHernandez-bw4vb]

FYI one switch or sensor as you call them is for the brake light. The other switch is for cruise control and it's good that you fixed it because if it stays on your cruise control wont shut off!

[@brauliobarreras6560]

thanks you save muy day man !!!!.....gad bless you....

[@janetwoodworth4062]

Having this Issa with 2006 Volvo XC90, will check if this is same type of issue . Praying 🙏🏻 it is

[@deanburge8747]

thank you carlos, i used a plastic clip from the door trim

[@rachaelsmith6770]

Thanks Carlos! I watch your clip this morning and fixed my brake light issue with some simple bits from the garage I had. Saved me a lot of time and money!

[@OLd_One-eyeguy]

Pretty sure one is the brake light sensor and the other is the cruise control.

[@genesmith8781]

Great video! I have a 91 Nissan Sunny [European Sentra, basically] and I had exactly this problem. Thanks for the explanation and an easy fix!

[@BirdBoss]

2020 and it just helped me with my Kia 🔥🔥 I have a pen holding it for now but going to Lowe’s in the morning I’m sure this will work I already see the hole for the screw

[@cdrive5757]

Bravo! Well Done DYI! Wakodahatchee Chris

[@xiozone1353]

One question do I go to auto zone and ask for what What are they called ? Pls help

[@prgarlick]

I fixed this by dropping in a Xmas tree clip to replace the missing gromet. I used forecepts (needle nose plyers) to push and pull it into place.

[@liquidmccloud6590]

Thx Carlos , i done this on my 350 today. My hands were too big so i used a needle nose pliers too hold the nipple in place.

[@PsychoReese]

Thanks man it helped it was other but not all the way lmaooo

[@luisfernandez-bv2vm]

Big thank you it was better than a mechanic guessing l did fix it all happiness. Keep posting me and many more will appreciate thanks again god bless you

[@jdunaway65]

Thanks for this, Carlos! I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima and had the same problem. Just like yours, there was a second switch (and mine was behind the steering column -- made me glad I have long, skinny fingers!) and that was the problem. I'm going to share this on facebook in case anyone else I know has the same problem!

[@krystalyzaguirre1125]

Hello I don't know how often you get this but I have the same problem I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima did the same method fixed your problem my brake lights are stuck and they won't go off

[@altlandf]

I replaced the headlight switch and a brake switch for my 89 s10 blazer. With headlights off hit the brake lights don't work. When the headlighrs are on BOTH the running and brake are lit. How do I tell the brake to turn off?

[@altlandf]

I forgot to mention that I paid the shop where i get truck inspected at $130 to fix electral problem. Which he didn't!

[@roygainey4317]

The big help I didn't know that it was two sensors on it just like you said there's two I'm having a hard time I didn't know all that paneling all come off easy or trying to do it Laying across the seat thanks a lot big help

[@lethokuhle8401]

My Nissan palsar lights the break lights at night after a few hour of switch off. What could be the cause.

[@lethokuhle8401]

My Nissan palsar lights the break lights at night after a few hour of switch off. What could be the cause.

[@kaaugs16]

My G37s 09 I press the brake and the lights stay on so I have to lift my pedal from the back to get them to turn off idk if my pedal just needs to be tightened or if I need to do that sensor trick

[@bruceevans3807]

Hasn't worked for me yet thinking my sensor is bad now but thanks for help

[@jonathanhowell122]

How does this happen? Do the factory installed plastic bolt wear out or fall out?

[@raphaelmalope4993]

Thanks very much, the video was helpful

[@jeffwells1255]

Good video, but it's *too much play and *lights.

[@henryphan5094]

I glued a penny (with gasket sealant) in place of the hole and Waaa. Laaa..done.

[@california199_7]

Nice now I’m going to see if I can do that to my 98 4Runner

[@havoc5952]

Damit man you look young here love your videos good times are coming

[@albertog6078]

great job brother! does it work on a toyota tacoma 98? thank you very much

[@geniahaslar2575]

NICE IDEA USING AUTO BODY TRIM SCREWS FOR A FIX ! I saw the pieces on my floorboard to my sensor pads but didn't know what they were at the time ! I sure do now & the trim screws will be a perfect fix. Silly parts store sold me a new switch but it is the brake switch pads, not the switch, that had disintegrated. My cruise control brake switch sensor pad went first , then my actual brake lights pad went. Same problem, brake lights were on constantly ! Lesson learned ,if you see little pieces of plastic on your floorboard & you didn't put them there it is probably important to find out where they came from So glad to get my cruise control back too !

[@franciscomassu271]

Thanks Carlos, that was really helpful man :-D

[@darlenemcleod6653]

Thank you you saved me so much money thank you. My mustang thanks you.

[@Mytho17]

Thank You brother! I just fix mine 👊

[@kencampagna9146]

[@paraminromain1243]

Thank you, your video was a great help!

[@roygibson9812]

Many thanks! Fantastic, excellent video

[@FernandoRamos-yp7ef]

[@armhodeanapple6188]

Bro! THANK YOU! I know this video is older, but you helped me out soooo much!!! God bless!

[@olagoke84]

Thanks man. ..I had the same issue with my maxima and after watching your video I tried it and it worked. Thanks for saving me money.

[@ForTheKingdom4Real]

What year was your maxima?

[@mitsirrah4719]

[@ToanNguyen-du8ci]

thank bro!

[@msavastano3705]

Great fix!! You just helped me too.

[@natep9997]

Will this work on a 2002 Nissan xterra?

[@mvpaint9018]

Thanks for the video I just used a spare bolt and nut out of my tool box to fix this problem and now people behind me know that I'm about to stop.

[@thor3399able]

One of the best tutorials on this ever ! Thanks a lot !

[@jammark1]

Thank you soooo much for your video. Simple and easy, love it!

[@sheldonshobbies]

A big thanks to you for posting this video. It was very helpful in fixing my car that I was about to take to a mechanic. I saw the rubber pad laying on the floor but did not know what it was. Have a blessed day, life, eternity. KZbin is an awesome way to share info.

[@1989moonbeam]

This was EXCELLENT.

[@tahanialqtaishat255]

Where I can buy the plastic screws

[@zaharishtonov8837]

Thank you, sir, for the detailed troubleshooting on camera! I had my battery drained too and after recharging it and putting it back, I noticed the brake lights constantly on. I suspected the sensor switch right away and even inspected it, but had no idea there should be a pad installed. That explained the plastic debris that I found laying on my carpet under the pedals... I can't believe they were made out of plastic. I replaced the pad with a metal bolt and a nut. This thing is not coming off any soon! Thanks again for the help!

[@ashinoshoshi8813]

Dealer item only got me dead as hell

[@johnnyViDeO]

Nice. I just had the brake lights stay on in my 2001 Acura TL. Ssme problem and same fix with a $4. kit from Autozone. The pad just snaps in, The other sensor turns off cruise control when the brake pedal is depressed. The hard part is straining your neck upside down to see the parts. Invest in a tripod.

[@andrewmck6066]

thanks for the video - helped me fix my Nissan with the same problem

[@pjstrupp]

Thank you, Carlos!! Worked like a charm!! I used Dorman part 785-126D. On my 99 infinity. Thanks again!!

[@EduardoMendez-gp8hs]

Where did you bought those things

[@dhangmaglaya4852]

How about for toyota vios ‘07, thanks

[@denokiggz]

Thank you. It helped solve the problem right away

[@RameshPatel-fu8vt]

Very good help , thanks

[@keno.8478]

Awesome video!!! My Toyota truck's brake light did not want to turn off. I was able to replace my broken plastic factory piece with a small metal bolt to activate the brake light switch. Amount I paid $0.00. Thank you!!!

[@svajesz]

Thanks for the video! 👍

[@jimw.5654]

Do the bolts have to be plastic?

[@10krms8]

Thanks for shareing Will these work on my 01 honda prelude thanks

[@Mudmonkeyrepair]
