Is it the brake light or the tail light? Does it go out when you pull back on the brake pedal?

Just had the same thing happen to our minivan.......went to the Nissan dealer, since the Villager and the Nissan are the same van, and they actually had the parts in stock. Tell them what is wrong and have them pull up the schematic. You need 2 plastic buttons that push in the holes by the brake pedal. It cost about $10 for the 2 of them.

You could have faulty altenator or short causing the battery to drain. The engine light usually comes on when anything electrical or sensor wise is faulty. Brake light will come on if, low brake fluid, e-brake handle is up.

My brake lights stay on ,even when car is off(overnight)
USUALLY at the 'hidden' end of your BRAKE PEDAL a BRAKE SWITCH resides... much like a doorbell button.

As the pedal is pressed, the BUTTON (within the Switch itself)... 'pops out' and the Switch turns on = your brake lights turn ON. Note the two "adjustment nuts" in Photo 1.

IF the SWITCH is not positioned/adjusted correctly ~ the brake lights STAY ON. Many are designed to STAY ON if the switch itself fails... The hope is "constant-on" condition will alert the owner/driver of a brake system problem!

Please know many brake light switches may be installed at the master brake cylinder (Photo 2). Note: No adjustment nuts.

Brake lights stay on why ?
ok your brake light switch by the brake pedal is bad or the rubber that is there for the switch to rest on fall out so what you can do if you cant find the part is get a small nut and bolt and put it in the hole and your light should cut off

2006 Kia Amanti... the brake lights stay on
If the brake lights stay on even if the car is turned off (or even if it is on) the first thing I would be checking is the brake pedal switch under the dash. Brake lights are activated when the brake pedal is depressed and comes off the switch or the return spring is broken or stretched not allowing it to fully return when foot is taken off the brake pedal.

My brake light is staying on, what is the problem?
Hello Mr Mixer.

When this happens it is usually a bad brake light switch mounted on the brake pedal lever.
Easy to replace if you are a handy fellow.

  1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
  2. Disconnect electrical connector for stop light switch.
  3. Remove bolt and lock nuts attaching brake pedal to stop light switch and push rod.
  4. Remove stop light switch and bushings from brake pedal.
  5. Reverse procedure to install.

Brake lights stay on even when ignition is turned off.
This happens when the brake light switch is out of adjustment or broken. It is mounted on the brake pedal rod just above your foot. Check to see if the nut has come loose on it and it backed off making the brake lights stay on. To repair it shove the switch towards the rod and snug the nut down. If it keeps doing this then the threads on the switch are stripped and need replaced. Very easy to repair. Feel free to ask me any questions if you run into a problem, Rich

I've just replaced the brake light switch on my Chevrolet S-10 pick-up. The brake lights stay on as if I have my foot on the brakes. How do I adjust the switch? Calvin
  • 1 Remove the negative terminal on the battery using a wrench. Look up under the dash and follow the brake pedal arm up to the switch. Pinch the tabs and pull the electrical plug out of the brake light switch.
  • 2 Remove the nut closest to the brake pedal arm using a socket. This allows the switch to be removed from the bracket.
  • 3 Install the new switch by adjusting the rear nut, closest to the electrical plug, back toward the plug until it is a few threads away from the plug. Remove the front nut closest to the button. Push the switch into the bracket with the button facing the brake pedal arm. Install the nut on the button side of the switch.
  • 4 Push the switch in until it contacts the arm and depresses the button. At this point, use your fingers to turn the front nut back until it contacts the bracket, keeping the switch from pushing back out of the bracket. Adjust the nut as necessary to assure the button is depressed against the brake pedal arm without moving the arm. Run the rear nut up to the bracket to lock the switch in place. Tighten the rear nut with a wrench.
  • 5 Install the electrical plug on the brake light switch. Install the negative terminal on the battery, and tighten with a wrench

    The brake lights on my car stay on even when you aren't in the car. It's like the brake pedal isn't staying up and is dropping just enough to trigger the lights to come on at random times or stay on after...
    Assuming there is nothing wrong with the Brakes, and that the Brake Pedal does not have the "play" you describe:
    There is a Push Brake Light Switch located up behind the Brake Pedal Arm. It is a Push actuated with a Plunger being pushed in activating the Brake Lights.
    Follow the Brake Pedal Arm up into behind the Dash. The Switch is adjustable and removable. There are two nuts on this Switch, holding and securing the Switch to a bracket. The Switch itself screws in/out of the bracket after the nuts have been loosened.
    Unplug the Switch.
    The nuts need to be loosened.
    The Switch in your case will need to be unscrewed out of the bracket moving the Plunger away from the Brake Pedal Arm.
    In some cases this Plunger is already all the way OUT (with it plugged back in) and the Brake Lights will stay on. In this case the Switch has to be replaced. It will also need to be replaced if the plunger is stuck in the "in" position. The Plunger is retrned to the "out" position by a spring, which maybe malfunctioning.
    WITH a helper looking at the Brake Lights and the Switch plugged back in:
    Adjust (screw out) the Switch in the Bracket so that the Brake lights to go out. Again if the adjustment does not solve it, remove and replace this Switch.
    Once that adjustment is complete, turn the locking nuts on the Switch - securing it in place.
    This Switch is available at Autozone Part #80172 for about $15.

    Rear brake lights stay on continusly fluid is fine
    This problem is caused by a defective and or out of adjusment brake light switch, if u look under the dash in front of steering wheel near the top of the arm the brake pedal is attached top/on u will see a switch, it is very easy to change, a 10 min job, below find a picture part number and the price of the switch for a typical Pathfinder, this is a 1996, but all model years are similar, u domn't say year of yours. U may want to check the adjustment of the switch 1st, it is a button type of switch, the little push button contacts the brake pedal arm and is depressed when the brake is not being used, when you use the brake the little button comes out and that turns the brake lights on, make the button is fully depressed when the brake is off, if it isn't turn the threaded switch shaft until the light goes off and lock it down with the nut on it, recheck it several times to make sure the problem is fixed, if the lights stay on replace the switch, it is cheap.

    1991 Honda Civic DX.The rear tail lights are staying on and no brake lights. The front lights work fine (marker/head) off the switch All fuses are good. ????
    Herbie, sorry by my English. It is very simple to solve :):) of course after I breaking my head. That's the explanation and solution:
    1 - When we pressing the brake pedals in our mind it looks we are pressing a switch which cut the "contact". In really is the opposite! Everytime we pressing the pedal we are realeasing (or making free) a light switch and making contact. It means everytime you do not pressing the pedal the pedal is cutting the light contact.
    2 - Go down the steering whell area and look the brake pedal. You will see that there is and bolt/nut threated at brake pedal stopper. Look the brake pedal and you will se there is an empty hole. On that hole should to be a white plastic peace which looks like an arrow. That peace it has to be assembled for behind the pedal and the "arrow" may be touching the bolt/nut.
    3 - The reason why you light it stay on is because the lack of the white peace it makes de metal do not touching the bolt/nut area. This gap it turns the lights on.
    I only found the peace at Honda Dealer and is cheap if you considering the problem but it is expensive if you considering how simple and small it is.
    Hope this can help and solve your problem.

    Brake light switch staying on flattening battery
    The switch is located above the brake pedal, about six inches. Sometimes there is a rubber stopper attached to the brake pedal assembly that closes the switch. If it is missing, nothing pushes the switch. Put a small bolt through the hole with a nut.
