  • Excuse my lighter I didn’t have a flash light an the flash in my phone was not lighting the area enough. Dont try that at home. I hope you find this video helpful! Please view the video in it’s entirety! I hope this will save you $12 - $100 especially considering a basic inspection at the dealership usually runs about $125.
    SUPER SIMPLE FIX! Enjoy!

    Got up with a dead battery this morning, couldn’t exactly figure why other than cold weather and could possibly just need a new battery. Then, my mom came home and asked me why my brake lights were on so we started researching to figure out the issue. This video helped me, and I followed basically the same thing as you did so thanks.

    You most likely just saved me a $200+ “diagnostic fee”. Thank you!! On my 2012 Sonata, the little rubber disc that pushes in the pin was worn through in the middle, so the pin just went into the disc, and didn’t depress. Not really sure how long it will last, but I just duct taped a dime over the hole in the disc, and it worked great!

    Just get under there where brake pedal is located and at the top of break pedal you will see a round disk that pushes a pin up into a small black shutoff box. If pin is broken off just a little that rounded disk on the side of the break pedal will not be able to push that pin up into the shutoff box and turn the back break lights off. Take a half inch or inch threaded screw and place it through the hole on the disk that is attached to top of break pedal put a nut on the underside of the screw to keep it secure. Now when you release the break ped the back break lights will turn off and no more dead battery. It works fine. Trust me I know.

    Brake Pedal Pad
    This happened to me a second time. In 2018 the dealership handled it under recall notice; this time I took a small permanent magnet and placed it under the switch on the pedal bracket.
    Cost ? have lots of small magnets so a few cents, time 30 seconds.
    This took care of the brake lights, the parking situation , loss of speed on the roads,and the anti skid light coming on.
    I hope the magnet part is useful, I saw people use screws, bolts, tape etc.

    Great video, thank you. My daughter was visiting and asked my why my brake lights were on (I had been home for hours). Went to the car which now needed a jump start and started looking around. Then the Google machine brought me to this video (top hit). Grabbed my flashlight and headed back to the car. The rubber piece that was supposed to close the switch was split in two pieces. So I put in a temporary block, and will 3D print a replacement. Thanks again for a quick, informative video.

    thanks for making me realize the switch turns the lights on when it's OUT ....DOH!! I thought my new switch was bad for a minute. my 07 entourage doesn't have the plastic thing that breaks off, just a sillicone bumper pad BTW. The engineers at hyundai must be having a good laugh thinking about guys trying to spin that nut back on the switch in those tight spaces.

    Was there supposed to be a bolt there already? I don’t know how my brake lights ever turned off before without it as it just goes through the hole

      there was likely a piece of plastic there before that broke off, even something as simple as a couple zip ties through the hole should do the trick, or a trip to hardware store for the nut and bolt as well
