Hello , I need help , I fix my own stuff but this has me beat , 98 Mitsubishi pajero / montero lwb gls , I have no top brake light and no rear wiper , i have turn signals , bottom brake lights work , I have tested the bulbs and the cluster and fuses , I hit a huge pot hole smelled some plastic burn, lost my alternator the A/T light battery light came on was down to 9v I replaced with new one thats all good but I can't find why brake and rear wiper won't work , is there a relay or something obvious or secret im missing ? any ideas? Would massively appreciate any wisdom I'm not usually one to ask but I have to admit I can't work it out .

This explains so much for me, after replacing my break light switch it also solved the issue I had with my traction control turning on by its self
@TommyC6-z3n4 ай бұрын
Yup- the traction control light was intermittently showing up on my son’s 2017 Nissan Altima. However, last few days, car would not start or could not it out of park. Heading to Nissan tmrw to grab a new switch. Seems pretty straightforward on the install. Hope it resolves this for me.

Hi my car is better in the shop twice and everything that you just showed on that video from about shifting from Park is exactly what my car is doing and what was done to it. It's sad that there are mechanics out there that will fix one tiny thing wait for you to break down to fix the next thing that caused it to begin with. Can't trust anyone it's really sad. Thank you for your help

What if my only symptom is not being able to shift out of park? I always manage to eventually get it out of park, but how much brake I need to apply always changes. Sometimes it's all way down, sometimes it's barely any brake at all. I've learned to just listen for the click of when it activates.

Great compilation! However, you still missed one symptom. The park lock solenoid can go crazy and click hysterically or the lever can be constantly unlocked. I have experienced both! It took me a while to figure it out, if you have trouble with your gearbox, the brake light switch isn't the first thing you think of.

Got my car back from the dealership and my break lights don’t turn on when pressing them. I have a Lexus es 350 2015 the fuses are all okay none are blown out. But all break lights don’t work. The weird part was they worked before sending it into the dealership when I got it back they didn’t work anymore. I really do hope it’s just a faulty break switch or something not too expensive. I got rear ended but didn’t damage any components. Any device on what else could be wrong? Really don’t want to spend 400-800 on repairs

Hopefully someone answers your concern. My 2000 ford expedition 4.6L V8 Triton XLT won't shift back into park, drive or reverse. It will only go in neutral, 2 and 1 gears. And I can only start it in neutral. I can only drive in 2 and when I want to "park" I have to put it in neutral. I don't know if it's my shift interlock solenoid or something else.🤷🏽♀️ As a female I am learning to repair my own vehicle since I was ripped off once.
