Brake lights on the instrument cluster can come on for one of two reasons. It comes on when the emergency brake is pulled up a bit and it also can come on if there is a pressure differential between front and rear brake hydraulic "circuits". This last one tells you there is a leak in the brake system (front or rear) or possibly a bad brake master cylinder (bad o-rings inside) delivering more pressure to one than the other. Temporarily unplugging that switch on the master cylinder would rule that out if the brake light continues to stay on. The first one could be due to a bad or out of adjustment emergency brake lever switch located on the lever mechanism.

Yesterday my back brake lights both went out. How do I fix the problem? Thank you, Yvonne

Hello Yvonne:

1st thing to check is your Fuses, Could be that its only a Blown Brake Light Fuse.

If your Brake Light Fuse is good ,Then i would Try to put New Bulbs in and see if its That for some reason both bulbs just happen to burn out at same time.

And if still no Brake Lights you'll need to Replace your Brake light switch,which is located drivers side under dash mounted to the Brake pedal Metal part up above where you push the brake pedal.

You'll see the wiring that connects to the Swith,Just pull off the wire connector and remove the brake light switch.

Yvonne this will get your brake lights working.

Alarm brake light inside dash board is on for 1 day then it turn off by itself, please tell me what is the problem? Thanks

The brake warning light in the 92 Accord will go on for 2 possible reasons:
1. Brake fluid is low-check the master brake cylinder to make sure the level is ok.
2. If you engage the emergency brake (even slightly) the light will go on. I think that this may be the reason in your situation. It may be that the emergency brake was pulled up a bit, not enough to engage the brakes, but enough for the light to go on. If you later engaged the brake further, and then released it, the light would go off.

EPC LIGHT

The EPC light has to do definitions. One has to do with the tire pressure monitoring system. The other is the transmission line pressure control. I wish you could give me more information but to take a stab at this problem I will guess that your problem has to do with the brake-light switch (on the brake-pedal). Sounds like the switch is stuck on or defective and the TCC (torque converter clutch) Is getting a constant signal to disengage. Thus that's why you can shift without using the brake-pedal. Good luck.
Let me know how your making out.

The brake lights dont work and the hatch brake light stays on all of the time

This is just a guess , so please don't give me a bad rating. to me it sounds like the switch on the brake pedal is broken ( stuck on ) so brake lights are on , but have burned up the rear bulbs. Highmount light might be LED so runs cooler and does not burn out. Try new bulbs in the tail lights.

Main brake lights do not work. all four signal

Your brake light switch has gone bad. The switch is located on your brake pedal and is a relatively cheap and quick fix. The switch, as it sounds, controls the brake lights from going on and off when the pedal is pressed. Replace this switch and your brakes will be back to normal. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!

Abs annd brake light stays on

Your brakes would require some testing because there are a couple things that could go wrong that would give you a hard pedal. With regards to your abs light and handbrake light staying on you should get your codes read to give you more info. But they share a common fault. One of the reasons they could both be on is because your skid control ECU is faulty. Otherwise it could be two separate issues.

My brake lights won't turn off on my 1989 Toyota Corolla, how can I fix this problem without going to a mechanic?

look for the brake light switch, it is located under your dash board, beside the brake pedal pivot, or at the end of your brake pedal arm. it is a round metal object with two wire connector sticking out. you may either adjust the nut enough for the pedal to turn off the switch, or if it is grounded. replace the brake light switch.

No Brake lights and fuses, relays are all good

Hi there!

Start at the beginning - the foot pedal switch.
It's usually mounted above the pedal, but you may need to be a contortionist to see it. Remove the connectors and check the switch.

If this doesn't solve it, contact me again & we'll go on from there.

If this solves the problem, Please spare a moment to rate as Fixya! Thanks.
