I had this problem twice, first time in 2018 dealer took it under recall, it happened again this week, the grommet had a hole; instead of a grommet, I used a small round magnet and placed it on the brake arm under the switch, permanent cost pennies and took all of 30 seconds.
I had this come back twice I used nickle coin second time but great idea magnetic should just stick there I had to glue it nice thinking
There was a recall for this issue?
@@MM-st2pf yes.
Look for brake light or brake pedal recall.
It's just a rubber grommet, that seems to wear out or break apart.
That sucker affects your Dole /Brake lights staying on which seems to cause your battery to drain and the computer to make a decision you want to stop and it will slow you down as you drive.
This also affects cruise control and another warning light ( forgot which one atm ).
@@MM-st2pf I doubt but it easy fix
@@pjfsr7024 who do we call for recalls?
Thank you so very much young man, you are so kind for posting this. I saw your video and asked my neighbor to please look at it. He saw the broken little part and went straight to it and fixed it. My car is a Honda accord 2005 almost 20 yrs old, I don’t want a new car just yet but every time something comes up I feel like, Ok it’s time. I’m relieved it’s nothing major and I can hold off a little longer. May God Bless you always💕
Yes I have 2004 accord love it and it’s gonna go 7 more year easy so should ur car!!!
@@RBTheMechanicI have a 2002 Honda Accord (my 2nd car and my 18 yr old son is using it for work/school). It only has 166,000 miles and a TON of brand new stuff I did to it with my mechanic. Spent around $2000 to have it in great condition for my son to use when he starts college in the fall. He should be able to get at least another 100,000 miles out of it if he takes good care of it. So….This happened today.. the lights stayed on even with the car turned off. I noticed it 2 hours after he had driven it when I went to the store. I didn’t know what to do so I just disconnected the battery cable for now. 😂 Hopefully this is the issue and I can fix it easily (I’m a single mom) If I don’t find the piece broken I’ll have to call my mechanic that works on my cars to come look at it. 😊
Broooooooo i found the piece on the floor. Your a time and money saver
Yup easy fuse I redid this twice second time I glued Nikle coin with silicon
Me too omg thank you!
Omg i found the piece on the floor too!
Dude your comment made me look at the floor and I found the piece too before the video was 10 seconds through! Big shoutout to the person who made the video and the comment above!
I also found the rubber disc on the carpet today. That's a 'funds-saver'. Thanks from Ghana 🇬🇭
You have no idea how much time and money you saved me today. Thank you so much for making this video. Exact same thing had happened to my car today.
Nice job I’m glad u found then issue
VALUABLE INFORMATION....YOU SAVED THE DAY BROTHER MAN....I fixed my car before the Big Storm tonight!!
Nice job!!! Good quick easy fix!!
Legend!! I may have had to contort myself into the car like a Cirque Du Solel performer to get at the brake pedal... But as soon as I removed the casing the bits fell out and I knew you were a genius! Currently a key is holding the light off. I'll head off to the shop tomorrow to see about a replacement part. Thank you! 👏👏👏
Nice lol keep is also good!! I use buckles and dimes they work well
Just did this quick fix on my Honda! Used electric tape and folded paper. Thanks!
Exactly 💯 sane happened to my son's 2004 Hyundai Sonata. Piece was on the floor after a mechanic wanted 225 to fix. It took me 10 seconds and you saved me all that cash!
Yeah nice job!! Quick fix
That’s phuck/ED up
I salute you man, thank you. Because of people like you the world is a better place.
Thank u bro always here to help anyone that needs car issues fixed!!!
@@RBTheMechanic 🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝
I love CZcams because there’s people like you. YOU’RE THE BEST!!!
TY
Thanks you my friend!!! Glad this video helped you!!!
Thanks, brother. My son called me the other night from where he works. He said his car would not start (2012 Elantra). I drove out there with some jumper cables and a few tools. When I got there the break lights being on threw me for a loop. I noticed pieces of plastic on the driver's side floorboard. I knew then that the pedal stop was probably the issue, as this had happened to my 2002 MR2 Spyder years before. I didn't remember exactly how I had fixed the problem. I immediately searched you tube on my i-phone and your video popped up. I refreshed myself through your video and used some gum to kind of put the plastic pieces back together and hold them in place under the brake switch plunger. This turned the brake lights off. I jump started his car and he was able to get it home with me following him. I was able to find an automotive plastic fastener in the garage and put that in to hold better (than the gum) until I could order and receive some new pedal stoppers from ebay. When they came in, I had my son watch your video so that he could learn how the brake switch system works, what the problem was, and where to install the new stopper. Thanks again for the refresher video; you made me look like a hero in front of my wife and my son!
Nice job!! Glad u found the issue and fixed it!!!
Most auto parts stores have a package called Dorman brake pedal stops. $8 at most places.
OMG! THANKS MAN! My car started doing this a few days ago so I've been disconnecting my battery so it doesn't drain it. I saw that plastic piece and was planning on throwing it away, LUCKILY I DIDN'T. Thanks again, I'll get to fixing it in a bit 👌
Use one of those magnet coin looking thing u can get it from Home Depot this plastic will brake again. I had to redue it I used nickle coin and gluded it other wise it’s called gromet for brake switch u can get it from autozone
Man!! It’s late at night and I was fearful of a dead battery in the morning but placing the nickel there did the trick!!!!!! CZcams University is undefeated! THANK YOU
Yup good job
I can’t see in the video where is the nickel go?
Thank you! Saved my brother and dad from trying to figure it out themselves 😅.
Your video was uploaded 3 yrs ago and just today, this happened to my subaru forester SH going home from work. I was about to remove both tail lights when I found your video!! I FOUND PIECES OF PLASTICS ON THE FLOOR! THANK YOU BROOOOO YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!
Nice glad u found my
Video
My brother! Thank you! My sister's car did this after we came back home from getting dinner. It's late and dark and you just helped me fix it! Thank you!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Nice glad u found this video.!!!
WOW Amazing that piece was exactly where you pointed at on the floor mat. Thanks!
Wendy Burkett did u fix it urself I had to reduce this one the plastic had hole through now I put nickel coin with glue
RB The Mechanic I replaced with the same one. Crazy glue.
This video really helped me fix my Hyundai Elantra 2015 brake lights,
I got worried as i got home today to see these light's on and got me thinking it was some electrical failure.
Thanks to your video it saved my battery from draining and saved me from paying the mechanics
Nice job brother!! Glad u found my video!!
Jan 2023! Took a road trip and when I parked at home my break lights would not turn off. Disconnected the battery for the evening. I’m not mechanically included… but today I was researching. My top hit was to replace the break switch. Which I did to no help…. I was about to break down and just go to the dealership, but came across your video and fixed it with “duck tape and a nickel!” This was on a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe. Ordered the grommet online, but that won’t get here until mid week.
Thank you immensely!!!
Yeah ur good with that coin there!!! I do the same on these
Thank you! Thank you! This JUST happened to my Elantra and I found the grommet pieces on the floor. Boss status achieved sir!
Brooooooooo I was freaking out over this but this helped me so much. Kudos to u!
Cool yeah easy fix!!
It’s 2am in the morning, and you saved my car from being dead later in the morning. Thanks so much!
Good job bro!!!! Glad u found my video and quick!!!
Disconnect negative terminal if the you run through similar issue in the future
I reallyyyyyu appreciate this video 4 years later
No problem always here to help forever
Looked out the window at 3 a.m like wtf is the brrak light doing on. Watched this and went out to check. Wasnt per say as yours but the screw was very loose. Tightened it up and its gold. Thanks my man. Was the same model just an "o5. Thanks again!!!!
Thank you!!!! My husband came home and told me my brake lights were on. His solution was disconnect the battery, mine was to fix it. Found your video and was instantly able to know exactly what was wrong. Found the broken piece on the floor and know what I need. In the mean time using a makeshift piece. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your video! Thank you.
Nice job!!!! Glad you found my video!!
This is legendary content. I found a plastic piece in my Santa Fe and it fit perfectly
YOU HAVE BEEN SOOO HELPFUL!!! found the plastic piece in four pieces on the floor...like you knew it would be there!!! took some measurements and found a floor clip fit the hole and it went in no problem...put the plastic screw and ready. THANKS FOR POSTING! save me some dough!😎
Nice job bro!! Yeah this is common issue had u found my video !! Don’t forget to subscribe I always put up a video to educate everyone and know how it’s done u never know when u need to check somthing
Yes same whenever I went to look in the floorboard to kind of look around. I seen it sitting in the floor and stumbled across this video. You're a lifesaver bro. Thank you
Yeah glad u found my video!!
Thanks brother just saved me another trip to the mechanic 😂
Thanks, you saved me a 2 hour round trip to fix this on my son’s accent. I shared with him your video and even though he’s not mechanical in any way by watching it he could understand what I was telling him to do to get the lights off till I can fix it. I had him put a piece of cardboard sandwiched between button and brake. He found the plastic piece that broke so if I can’t get the part at dealer or auto parts I’ll McGuiver it till I do. Thanks!
Oh nice job!!! Yeah I didn’t even use the plastic brake switch stopper I put in nickle coil and glued it and it’s still working good… also people used magnetic coin they sell at home depot that work well also
I’m going to try a small magnet to replace the plastic piece…. I believe the switch is still good because he said it did go off and on as he tried it..
I used the round magnet the size of a dime but a little thicker than a nickel. On top of that put electrical tape around the brake arm and magnet so it shouldn’t slip off. Seems to work well…. May be a permanent fix👍🏻
@@larrymullikin1896 oh yeah solid fix it’s better than new now !!! Good for next 10 years
@@RBTheMechanic hopefully the car lasts that long… thanks again!👍🏻
The Cruise Control went out on my 8 year old Hyundai Elantra then I notice the brake lights were stuck on. Thankfully I found your video and $1.03 out the door at the dealership fixed this issue. You definitely earned a like and subscribe!
Nice good job bro!!!
Awesome quick fix! '95 Mercury Villager 260,000 mi. After watching your video saw the piece on the floor mat under the brake pedal. Stuck a rubber washer about the same thickness where it fell out and brake lights back to normal.
Good job
Went out a bought a brand new battery.. about an hour later we noticed my break lights is on. We was confused because all light are off. Found this video and what do you know this video saved the day unfortunately we bought a battery we don't need. 🤦♀️🤦♀️ But hey thanks for the much needed information 😃
Nice job! Easy fixxx
This helped so much couldn't figure it out for the longest. Thank u !
Cool good job finding it!!!
Thank you! This grommet fell off this afternoon, didnt know where it came from. I almost threw it away. You saved me hundreds of dollars.
Nice I used nickle coin plans glued it there so it’s will never brake and I put tape over it
You’re a bloody legend bro!! Found the broken parts on floor of drivers side this morning and super glued part back on till I get it fixed. Thanks brother!
Nice good job small magnet coin in HomeDepot work very well and plug it

You are a life saver. Cardboard and scotch tape worked like a charm.
That will give up and out hole through use nickle or dime coin that works good
That’s a very common problem, we had in total 7 Hyundais in our Family in the last 15 years, and they all had the same issue. Even my new Sonata had a disintegrated brake padel dampener after just 3 years. I 3D printed it using TPU and it works like a Charme
Yeah I do lot of these
Wish you lived in Cleveland and could help!!!! Lol.

Thanks RB The Mechanic. This was exactly the problem with my 96 Honda. The grommet feel out. I have an extra rubber piece and tape to keep it in place temporarily until I get it fix. I don't understand why some people gave you a thumbs down when you shared a solution to the problem. Take care Bro! 👍
Yeah it’s cool I try my best to help everyone
The thumbs down were the crooked mechanics who would have charged you $500 for the fix.

Nice!!!! Good video !!! Glad it helped u!!
Used a magnet with some tape. Thanks for the information!!! God bless CZcams and this man!
Nice yes the magnets work great
I had the same thing on my 2005 Sonata, brake lights staying on. I noticed pieces of a broken grommet on the floor, figured it was connected somehow so when I watched this video and you mentioned the same thing, pieces on the floor, sure enough, that was the problem! Thanks for this, now I just have to do a replacement, hopefully just the broken grommet.
Nice Kobe discovering this issue!!!
Thank you so much for this video!! You saved me ❤️
No problem glad the video was a help!!!
Just fixed it. Thanks to this video! My temporary fix is cardboard and electrical tape. The part is called Brake Pedal Stopper.
Cool

Glad u found this video!!!
Thanks! I have 2012 same car and this is exactly the problem! Thank you for this information!
You're welcome!
Thank this helped me as well !!!
I did and temp fix to keep my battery from dying by whipping out some duct tape.
Tore a 2ft or so length and ripped into 3 equal long lengths.
Double one length over and over into a 1/4 inch square pad.
Laid another strip over the square pad.
Placed the pad over the spot where the brake switch grommet would go
Then wrapped the strip laid over the pad around the brake notch so the pad would not easily fall off.
Ethan I had another job I used dime coil and silicon attaches it to the spit and put more silicon around it so it will never fall off worked like charm!
Hey man. Thank you for this. You really help me alot. May I ask what is the name of the part you were mentioning in the video? So maybe I can order it online.
Honestly no idea some type of grommet for brake switch I used the same one but car came back few months later then I glued down nickle coin and it’s been good ever since
Brake Pedal Stopper
@@CJ-fh5xq Thanks CJ!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing. You saved me time and money.i found a snap button in my car that fits perfectly on the brake pedal hole.your trouble shooting is direct to what I need.ill subscribe to you from now on.a big Thank you from Abu Dhabi.😊
Thanks bro glad my video was help and u figured it out!!
This just happened to my car. I saw this little brown piece of plastic and a few other pieces laying on the floor and looked under the dash at the brake pedal and saw that button along with some gritty residue, probably from that broken plastic. I'm not a mechanic so I wasn't really able to put 2 and 2 together so here I am watching your video. Mine is designed differently, but the principle is the exact same. I'm sure that little piece of plastic is going to cost at least $20.00 if not more. Thanks for saving me a lot of time, money and wasted effort.
Nice good discovery!! Easy fix
YOU ARE THE MAN! Probably saved me 100s! Good looking out!!!
Nice glad to help!! I just

Me know what u found
This is exactly the problem I had. Car battery completely dead. Then, luckily, noticed that my brake lights were on when the car was turned off. Upon closer inspection, I found the rubber/plastic bumper pad under the floor mat, it had sheared off at the nib that held it in place against the switch. Jimmy-rigged it back in and problem solved. 👍🏻
Nice job!

Thanks dude. Keep up the good work
Sure will!!!
Just wanted to say thanks for making this video. Ir helped me alot identifying the issue. For other peeps who comes across this issue, I used a spare engine rubber tube, cut off a piece and just placed it where the spacer was. It fixed the issue lol. I'll probably leave that one there since it's thick and will probably last longer than the original break stoppers.
Glad u found my video
