CLICK SHOW MORE: Honda Accord Brake / Tail Light Remains On Illuminated - Won't Turn Off Fix Repair Help Troubleshoot Will Not Turn Off.
You might need a "Brake Pedal Stop Pad" Cost: $2.00 - 5.00
Part Number: 46505-SA5-000
(or...71045 *from a comment below)
Google: "Honda Accord Brake Pedal Stop Pad"
Quick Fix: If you need to do a quick fix, use cardboard, put a bolt in the hole, or tape a "spacer" such as two pennies, to the pedal and this will get you down the road.
Stop the Battery from Draining: pull the plug off the switch at the brake pedal; or pull the fuse at the fuse box in the engine..see the related video.
NOTE: It's faster to just go to your local parts store; they will likely have the part you need.
Interesting fact...KZbin stats show this video get more hits/sikes May through September. itsa very clear graph. My part broke during the summer months.

THANK YOU!!! My battery died.. but your video solved the mystery. (2006 Honda Accord) Once I found the broken plastic I shook my head off!! You are doing God's work... That would have easily been a couple hundred bucks at the shop.

[@DianneCarter]

You saved me! My landlord awoke me at 1:30AM announcing my break lights on my 99 Accord were on. Pitch black out, I pulled the “Stop” fuse and set my phone alarm to awake me at daybreak. I found the broken plastic on the car carpeting and knew. Then I put the fuse back in place under the hood; went to the break pedal; taped a penny in the plastic stopper’s former spot and drove to AutoZone. They were out of stock of part 74015 but the female clerk who once owned a Honda guided me to another part - a flat rubber stopper with a cone shaped end and her coworker depressed the break peddle for me as ol’ me got down on a blanket, reached up to the break light switch and put the stopper in place. Your video was the first one I turned to! 😊

[@doitmyselfhomerepair1652]

What an INCREDIBLE story. Thank you soo much for sharing. Nice job tacking the repair yourself. 👍

[@tinamarieb49]

Thanks for your hack! Discovered my light was stuck on right after 9p and was going pull my fuse per this vid but want my brake lights to work on the way to parts store tomorrow so tried your hack instead. Worked like a charm! Thank you for taking the time to comment and help with the save!

[@debramaffett731]

Thank you for this video. We just followed your advice ... and went to the local auto shop and purchased the part and put it in...and the lights turned off! At first we did not push the stop pad all the way in and it fell out. We used some pliers to make sure the stop pad was pushed all the way in. Works perfect now!

[@cgrubbs9420]

I can't thank you enough. After finding out that I have to replace my AC unit, the brake light issue was added. Everything you laid out in this video was spot on. Years later, you're still making an impact. Again, thank YOU!

[@dannellapennington8914]

Thank you for your informative video. My husband of 25 years passed away 7 days ago and he was the auto problem solver. After finding the lights staying on & having a melt down, I gathered my thoughts went to a trusted neighbor who told me always go to KZbin. We watched it together so I would understand what was wrong, where the fuse box was & how to pull & replace fuse. I'll get the part today and neighbor will crawl in to install. Your KZbin video & calm explanation and my neighbors step by step with you instructions have calmed my fears. Thank you very much!

[@debbieg3954]

OUTSTANDING!! from on grateful dad to another. Your video helped to diagnose a problem with our daughter's Acura TL. He found the broken pieces of the plastic bumper on the floor board. He used a bolt instead of the plastic for a more permanent fix. Truly grateful!!!

My neighbor called just a few minutes ago with this issue. I wasn't quite sure what to do (and I was half asleep already when he called me)....I quickly referred to Google, found you at the top of my results and watched your video. Bam, spot on!! For now we took out the fuse (I would have came to that conclusion anyway but your "in the meantime" part of the video helped with the mention of "stop" fuse - I would have looked for "brake"). Thank you soooo much! Absolute help.

[@doughtyden]

I found that piece laying on the floor and couldn't figure out what it was. Tried to start my car for work this morning, and the battery was completely dead. I couldn't figure out where my short was or if my alternator was going out. I happen to look over at my car as the sun was going down, and noticed the brake lights were on. Did a quick Google and landed here. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much!! My mom discovered my brake lights were on as she came home from shopping, and we were worried it'd be complicated or expensive. But, sure enough, I found the pieces of the stopper on the floor! Easy fix, no need to panic!

Thank you walked out to my car today and It was completely dead. Put the jumper cables on and my break lights were on but headlights weren’t. Nothing was left on so I was confused.

[@Kay.in.FL.HI.SA.JP.OZ.NZ.RIO..]

Thanks, esp for the clear photo of the stopper placement! RELATED TIPS: Instead of pulling the fuse and driving without brake lights (chancing a rear-end collision, and/or a traffic citation); I just pulled the battery cable off when I parked (then put it back on when I was ready to drive again). BUT BEWARE, disconnecting your battery will erase your radio settings, so be sure to have your radio codes handy (ideally printed on a label inside your glove box)! RADIO RESET CODE TIPS: Some Honda dealers may provide your radio code for free, but most charge $15-35; Auto zone can provide your radio code for FREE, by using the engine analyzer!

[@doitmyselfhomerepair1652]

Hi Karen... yeah....pulling the fuse would be just for saving the battery....not for driving without brake lights. 👍 good point. Nice job fixing the brakes and great tip about the radio code👍

[@daynauno6063]

Thank you! This video at 1: 30 to 1:50 saved us from the battery going dead tonight.

Great video - Neighbor walking by saw my brakelights on - thought I would have to disconnect the battery until I could troubleshoot in daylight...wait... maybe there's something on KZbin and this came right up. Sure enough, broken plastic pieces on car mat - stuck a piece of cardboard until auto parts store opened next morning. My 2001 Honda with 240K miles now good as new much to spouse's chagrin!

Thank you Google, KZbin, and this channel. Had this problem last night, disconnected one battery post so my battery wouldn't drain. Went to dealership and paid a little over $10 for the "brake pedal switch bumper" (next time I'm in AutoZone I'll ask what they charge) and fixed this in two minutes. Had to turn the engine on in order to depress the brake pedal enough (as mentioned elsewhere) to stick in the bumper. It's a bit of a tight squeeze underneath there, but the job was so easy with these directions. Thanks!

One tip I would like to add since it is really difficult to get the plastic point to pop into the hole (96 Accord)---I grabbed the crayon tip with a pair of needle nose pliers and guided it into the hole. Used this method after several failed attempts using my fingers. There's not a lot of room to work down there! Thanks so much for the video. The part was $3.95 at my local Honda dealer.

Emilia - oh my goodness. I am sooo glad you found the video. And I am sooo glad you could fox it yourself. Nice job!!! Thank you for your comment, you are very kind.

Thanks for the video brother man. I got off work at 11:30pm and went to my 93 accord in the parking lot and the tried to start the car. My batt was dead because i did not know the break light stayed on and drained my batt. Once i got a jump and started the car thats when I noticed tbe break light was on and wouldnt turn off. I had to drive over an hour home on the freeway with my break lights beaming. Embarrasing. When I got home I u tubed your video and fixed the problem. You are the man.

Happen to me to on my 93 accord today crazy.

[@suzanneglenn6663]

Thank you for this great video! Usually, people skip parts because they assume their audience knows mechanics (I'm a Spanish teacher, I know nada about cars). However, you showed me exactly where everything is! And I did find the little piece on the floor!

My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍 Way to go!!! Taking on the challenge of fixing an electric problem on your car...come to find out...it wasn't electrical at all. muy bueno!!!! Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@daniellefowler4732]

Extremely helpful!!!! even on my civic...thank you for the detailed information

[@jayp9450]

Thank you also I noticed before the stopper broke. My brake light warning sign has been on. Before this problem actually happened. Giving me a warning that the brake pedal stopper was probably bout to break off. Thanks again great video.

[@SymphonyTruth1014]

Thank you for this! I have a 2001 Civic and had to use the black one vs. white. But thank God it was a super easy $8 fix. For anyone aprehensive about doing it, it's literally turning the panel knob, popping it off, putting the stopper in, putting the panel back and done. I'm not into cars or fix them. I'm actually a girly girl and I was cool with fixing it.

[@DomV760]

Thanks!!!! Just fixed mine today. $8.15 at advanced auto parts. Easy fix!

I feel like my dad just helped me. Thank you!!! This video was perfect.

[@doitmyselfhomerepair1652]

Hazel - Baaahaaahaaa too funny. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. 👍

[@RobertCornejo]

Thought the tail lights had a glare from the sun. But they were on, nipple broke. Drained battery. I do alot of engine work, never knew about this or had this problem. 19 year old piece finally broke. Learn something new everyday.

[@doitmyselfhomerepair1652]

Ahhhh... the 8th wonder of the world KZbin👍 No doubt your share lots of your knowledge with others.... it's nice knowing I could return the favor to you. Thanks for taking the time to share your story. 👍

[@PaulProchaska]

Thanks. My daughter came home last night with the same problem in the Accord. Honda should do something about the CHEAP workmanship on brake pedals. It's definitely a major issue with so many people having the same problem.

[@chromos_def]

9 years later and your video helped me greatly. Same exact issue, found the old one shattered in the floor board. Went down to O'Reilly and got the exact product you showed in your video, but I couldn't get the white one to snap in, so I ended up using the black one. Should I try to get the white one to snap in? Thank you for this video

[@zachyoder6455]

Had this problem with our 94 Honda Accord and I was thinking there was a short somewhere in the electrical system. Glad I found this video. Great advice. Thanks!

[@mathesar]

Just had this happen with a friends 97 Accord wagon and sure enough the pedal bushing had broke and was scattered on the floor mat, Thanks for the video!

[@Steel64]

[@Schama_noglasses]
