Frozen Brake Lights???!!? Help Asap.

[xheartlesskingx]

Well For some odd reason, My Brake lights (all 3) were on by themselves.. I flicked all the lights and they never came off, I started it, everything and sure enough an hr later my car was dead..Now this all happened after it rained but why would my brake lights stay on like that and HOW CAN I GET THEM TO TURN OFF...I KNO IM prolly gonna have 2 jump my car cuz its DEAD but otherwise im kinda lost about the brake lights..

On the top of the brake pedal, there should be a little blue plastic thing that hit a connector.
It probably has come off, broke off, etc.
Just get a bolt and a screw, and you should be fine.


I'm really bad at explaining this, but you should see what I'm talking about.
Just lay in your driver side floor board and follow the brake pedal.
You should see a metal "button" it hits.

I just did it a month or 2 ago.
If you need, I can post a pic around 4pm today (when I get off work).
Hopefully someone can be a little more descriptive than me by then though.

Is that blue thing dark blue , and looks like a lil crayon cuz i found it in 2 lil pieces on my floor. I followed the brake up and it touches a bolt or screw..hard to tell. what next?

Yup.
That would be it.
When it was on my floorboard, I thought it was a lollipop.

Next, put in a bolt and screw in the hole that the blue thing fell out of.
Then, jumpstart your car, and have a good rest of the day.

Towards the top.
Find the brake lamp switch, there will be a hole towards the top of the pedal where it went.
I'm not sure on the bolt size.
I just had some laying around and tried a few.
Luckily, one fit nicely.

Iight can you hook it up wit a pic when you get off of work??

[JoshM]

Yes'r.

[JoshM]

This pic was taken by my phone, maybe it'll help.
If not, I'll post a pic when I get home.
I have my camera with me, just not my cord.



BTW... the wording on the left side of the pic is "backside of pedal".

[xheartlesskingx]

Thanks dog, I jus felt up there. Is it that hole right behind tha bolt and nut. cuz there was a loop there just a hole..so i should fit a bolt threw there and a nut to hold it right?

[JoshM]

Yes sir.

[xheartlesskingx]

iight well how do i hold the switch down for the light to put the nut on the bolt??

[JoshM]

You shouldn't have to.

But, I suppose you could put the switch with your finger while you use the other than to start the nut.
