You might need a "Brake Pedal Stop Pad" Cost: $2.00 - 5.00
Part Number: 46505-SA5-000
(or...71045 *from a comment below)
Google: "Honda Accord Brake Pedal Stop Pad"
Quick Fix: If you need to do a quick fix, use cardboard, put a bolt in the hole, or tape a "spacer" such as two pennies, to the pedal and this will get you down the road.
Stop the Battery from Draining: pull the plug off the switch at the brake pedal; or pull the fuse at the fuse box in the engine..see the related video.
NOTE: It's faster to just go to your local parts store; they will likely have the part you need.
Interesting fact...CZcams stats show this video get more hits/sikes May through September. itsa very clear graph. My part broke during the summer months. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
This videos 10 years old and your saving people like me thank you so much
came out to my car being dead 2 mornings ago, couldnt be bothered by it cause i just got me a new tacoma thats also my house, anyway i was sure it was the battery, being 6 years old just spent 200 on a new one cause i want my car to be able to run, put it in car starts, looks behind me....."ohh now whats this shit " sees my solid lit up break lights. anyways googled brake lights stuck on 98 accord, found this man god, allah and whatever you believe in bless this man. 10 more dollars for the piece of plastic at oreileys. booom job done.
from a daughter whose dad lives over an hour away, thank you for this video!!! and happy late father's day!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Yesssss hunny! Same here!
Happy late father's day!! Again..
My dad also lives several hours away and I was in the same predicament until I found this video!! Thank you so much my friend, I was about to break down in tears 😭 trying to figure it out on my own
Thank you so very much for this video. My son was able to watch your amazing video and was able to buy the part and fix the issue! Greatly appreciate! Please keep up the good work!
Shout out to the real heroes of America: These guys who make short videos of their car fixes. I never would've guessed it was such a tiny part.
This is great, I woke up this morning and found plastic pieces on my floor board and watched your video and found out my problem. Thanks to you I got it fixed quick and saved my battery 😊
Same here
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Same thing happened to me
OUTSTANDING!! from on grateful dad to another. Your video helped to diagnose a problem with our daughter's Acura TL. He found the broken pieces of the plastic bumper on the floor board. He used a bolt instead of the plastic for a more permanent fix. Truly grateful!!!
I just got a 99 Accord and couldn't figure out why my battery was draining...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS FOR US CAR ILLITERATE!! Really saved the day.
Thank you for this video. We just followed your advice ... and went to the local auto shop and purchased the part and put it in...and the lights turned off! At first we did not push the stop pad all the way in and it fell out. We used some pliers to make sure the stop pad was pushed all the way in. Works perfect now!
You were spot on! My daughter's Honda did the same exact thing. Thanks to you we saved on having to get a diagnostic test done. You are wonderful!!!!
I can't thank you enough. After finding out that I have to replace my AC unit, the brake light issue was added. Everything you laid out in this video was spot on. Years later, you're still making an impact. Again, thank YOU!
C - Thank You! Soooo much. It is really nice the folks take the time to comment. Its sooo Wonderful to see folks are still finding the video and taking the time to learn on their own how to fix these things.
Thank you for your kind words. Be safe.
I also need to replace my AC unit and just had this issue. Wild.
You saved me! My landlord awoke me at 1:30AM announcing my break lights on my 99 Accord were on. Pitch black out, I pulled the “Stop” fuse and set my phone alarm to awake me at daybreak. I found the broken plastic on the car carpeting and knew. Then I put the fuse back in place under the hood; went to the break pedal; taped a penny in the plastic stopper’s former spot and drove to AutoZone. They were out of stock of part 74015 but the female clerk who once owned a Honda guided me to another part - a flat rubber stopper with a cone shaped end and her coworker depressed the break peddle for me as ol’ me got down on a blanket, reached up to the break light switch and put the stopper in place. Your video was the first one I turned to! 😊
What an INCREDIBLE story. Thank you soo much for sharing. Nice job tacking the repair yourself. 👍
Thanks for your hack! Discovered my light was stuck on right after 9p and was going pull my fuse per this vid but want my brake lights to work on the way to parts store tomorrow so tried your hack instead. Worked like a charm! Thank you for taking the time to comment and help with the save!
Let me add my thanks to the list - that was exactly the issue we ran into tonight. Using the two pennies for a quick fix until the parts store opens in the morning also worked like a charm. Really appreciate you taking the time to put together and post this video.
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you so much!! My mom discovered my brake lights were on as she came home from shopping, and we were worried it'd be complicated or expensive. But, sure enough, I found the pieces of the stopper on the floor! Easy fix, no need to panic!
My neighbor called just a few minutes ago with this issue. I wasn't quite sure what to do (and I was half asleep already when he called me)....I quickly referred to Google, found you at the top of my results and watched your video. Bam, spot on!! For now we took out the fuse (I would have came to that conclusion anyway but your "in the meantime" part of the video helped with the mention of "stop" fuse - I would have looked for "brake"). Thank you soooo much! Absolute help.
just used this fix on my Honda...thank you! your video was spot on...even to the broken plastic piece on the floor of my car. brilliant. I will add though that my year of honda had even less room than yours...now to find a good chiropractor! Thank you
My daughter‘s car was doing the same thing. Thank you so much for uploading this. She lives in Hawaii so getting the part would’ve been difícult, so I just bought a 1/4x20 by 1/2 inch nylon screw with a nylon nut for $1.25 and it works perfect
Thank you for this. I was just about to call my mechanic and put the old hoopie in the shop. Checked CZcams, found your vid and saved myself a fortune. You are awesome!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
7 years later and it’s still helpful this video
Most awesome comment!
Thank you so much. So.glad I could help. 👍
Thank you so much...Tow Guys came to pick up the car to tow it to the shop and diagnosed the problem. Your video (and the Tow Guy) are saving me a bundle and some precious time. Mahalo!
Ha ha! Talk about the nick-of-time!
Glad it all worked out
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you from a single mom! I ran to the auto part store and my son just popped it in after watching your brake pedal bumper video. You saved me so much time, money and a battery!
Cindy!!!!! What a great story! Way to go taking the time to try and see if you could fix the problem yourself. Congratulations 👍
Had to replace this for the first time on my 97 and this was a perfect video for it, thank you even 8 yrs later
Awesome video! I got off from work this morning and got to my car and thought why are my break lights on.. 🤔
Came to CZcams and you were the first video that popped up. I looked on the floor and immediately saw that the plug had come out. I popped it back into place and just like that issue solved.
Thank you for posting..
Thank you! This video at 1: 30 to 1:50 saved us from the battery going dead tonight. My teenage daughter & I went out in the dark - and rain :( to see if she could get to the floorboard and tape up the hole til morning. Your video was so clear that she had no problems finding it on her car. Thanks again!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thanks so much for this video and all your explanation. I had the same problem and found the broken pieces on the floor. My local auto shop did not have it in stock so had to wait to order it. I appreciate the information about the fuse. As I don't have to drive this so often I just folded a small piece of cardboard and used it to act as the bumper so did not have to pull the fuse. These videos are so helpful!
Man , your a life saver ! Fixed my wife’s care when I seen the brake lights on in the middle of the night , had to get up and take the battery off then I woke up early and fixed the problem ! You made it simple and easy thank you 🔥🔥
My pleasure... and thank you for taking the time to comment. 👍
Thank you man!! This was really helpful!. Came back home from work and was so much anxious as i had to park my car outside and it was late evening with all the mechanic shops closed. This helped me a LOT!! Thank you again bro.
Thank you so much for this vid. I got to work this morning and one of my co-workers told me that tail light were still on after I had been at work for about an hour. I went down and was amazed that they were lit up bright red and I could not get them to shut off. My co-worker mentioned something about this possibly being the problem and I researched and found your video. This was exactly my problem. After reading some of the other comments, I think that I am going to use the bolt and nut option. A more permanent fix. Thanks so much for this quick and easy fix.
EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONS! I am a middle aged woman with no auto mechanic background and was able to understand and replace the brake bumper! thanks so so so very much for posting!
Thank you so much. I was literally going crazy about this in the morning since I was puzzled because my lights were on this morning. I'm glad I detected the problem early and it didn't drain my battery! Again thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! It was too late when I got home to get to an auto parts store. Although my Accord is a '92, you gave me enough info to find the fuse, pull it, and go to sleep knowing the car will start tomorrow. This was the perfect info.
Hey man. Just wanted to say thanks for the help!
The part wasn’t even $10 and it literally only took 2 mins to install. 🙌🏾
You saved my life at 3AM wondering why my brake lights were on. I saw it when I woke up to grab some water. And you probably saved me an N punter with a crooked mechanic. Love you.
I know this was uploaded a long time ago but this helped me a lot fix my brake light issue! Thank you so much for the info!
You're right found the broken plastic pieces on the ground and saved me a lot of time! I knew I'd find somebody on CZcams that could help.Thanks
Nice!!!! Glad you found a video that gave you all the information you needed. Thank you for taking the time to comment. 🍻
Bought the part at the Honda dealer up the street for $3.24. I used a heavy brick to hold down the brake pedal. It took less than a minute to install. Thank you so much!!!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Great tip on the brick to hold the pedal down...clicked like on your comment👍
I found that piece laying on the floor and couldn't figure out what it was. Tried to start my car for work this morning, and the battery was completely dead. I couldn't figure out where my short was or if my alternator was going out. I happen to look over at my car as the sun was going down, and noticed the brake lights were on. Did a quick Google and landed here. Thanks for sharing!
My sis's brake lights would not go off today and we were stumped as to why until I came across your video through a quick internet search. Never even knew anything about the stopper! We headed to O'Reilly Auto Parts, found the part, and installed it ourselves very easily with the help of your awesome video. Thank you for all your help! :)
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
This video was extremely helpful. Thanks so much for posting! I found some broken blue pieces of plastic on my floor earlier today but didn't know there was a problem until I went to the store tonight and noticed my lights still on.
So glad I could help. And good for you for taking the time to try and fix it yourself 👍
Thanks for such a well shot video and clear, patient explanation. I found the crayon tip on the floor. It is night time so I haven't fixed it yet, but I took out the fuse. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this!! I didn't think I'd be able to do it by myself, but I did. Thanks again!!
Your video was so helpful! Fixed my parents' accord's brake light 2 mins after returning from the store.
Thank you Sir whoever you are. I had this problem informed by my apartment guard at almost 1.30am. Too late to call anyone or to trouble anybody, I turn to the internet to help find a solution. I clicked on your video, and could not find the plastic, I learnt to turn off the fuse! Amazingly it works. This is the first time I fixed a problem in my car after driving for almost 35 years! A Big Thank You.
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thank you so very much for this! This just happened to me when I got home and so glad I found your video! I have a 98 green Accord as well! Sure enough, after watching this, I found the brake bumper in two pieces on the floorboard. So glad you included how to remove the fuse as well b/c I was worried about the battery draining and not working tomorrow when I can go get that part. Awesome- thank you!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
@@doitmyselfhomerepair1652 Thank you for showing the actual part one needs for this, but especially for showing the location of the fuse. The schematic spells out "power window motor" and "power seat fore/aft" (neither of which I have anyway), but only puts "stop" for what should rightfully say "brake lights"! (I'm an old woman and don't need this aggravation.)
Thank you walked out to my car today and It was completely dead. Put the jumper cables on and my break lights were on but headlights weren’t. Nothing was left on so I was confused. A quick “2002 Honda Accord brake lights staying on” search and in 3 minutes I found the fix. Whole lot better than jumping the car and chasing the problem for weeks to come. Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
That's what I am talking about! So nice to hear that something that can be so technical, can quickly become elementary. Nice job doingityourself!
I had a similar problem with my Honda Accord 1998. Your video saved me from the stress. Thanks for sharing this video.
Great video - Neighbor walking by saw my brakelights on - thought I would have to disconnect the battery until I could troubleshoot in daylight...wait... maybe there's something on CZcams and this came right up. Sure enough, broken plastic pieces on car mat - stuck a piece of cardboard until auto parts store opened next morning. My 2001 Honda with 240K miles now good as new much to spouse's chagrin! Hopefully the replacement part lasts as long but if not, now I know thanks to you!
08/06/2019. This was the problem with my 1998 Honda Accord. My wife drove it today, and had the exact same problem as your daughter, and when I checked, after watching this video, I had the same problem. Thanks for posting this!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
After multiple tries, watching youtube videos, I put the temporary fix, penny and duck tape. It worked. Brake lights go off. Waiting for plastic stopper I ordered. Then I will put it in. I am 69 years old woman with 2005 honda civic. I did make appointment at car repair place . I will cancel on monday. They were going to charge me more than $6 to fix. Diagnostic, order part, wait for part. Me having to use uber twice. $$$. Thankyou for video.
Life savor man or should I say Battery savor!! Great video. Just got my 2000 Honda Accord today and when I made it back home my brake lights were on when I turned off the car. Brake bumper fixed the issue!!
Dude. You are a life/battery saver. After you said look on the ground for the broken pieces. There they were! Thanks a bunch
Awesome!
Nice job taking time to research and do it your self. 👍
Super thanks. I just fixed my car temporarily. It is 2:58 am here. Came out from work and saw tail light. Your video gonna save the battery. Thanks a lot
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Saved my bacon. Even pointed to the fact the broken piece was on the floorboard. Way to go! fixed faster than the time it takes to explain the problem to the guy I use when I can't fix it.
As with the many other comments below, thank you so very much for your video! Went to my vehicle and sure enough, the plastic bumper had turned into 3 pieces and was laying on the floor. You are awesome!
Mine too 3 pieces.
Thank you my man. That was so spot on what happened today to my elderly neighbor's '98 Accord. I even found the broken pieces. Headed to parts store now.
Thank you Google, CZcams, and this channel. Had this problem last night, disconnected one battery post so my battery wouldn't drain. Went to dealership and paid a little over $10 for the "brake pedal switch bumper" (next time I'm in AutoZone I'll ask what they charge) and fixed this in two minutes. Had to turn the engine on in order to depress the brake pedal enough (as mentioned elsewhere) to stick in the bumper. It's a bit of a tight squeeze underneath there, but the job was so easy with these directions. Thanks!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thank you so much! Especially for that last bit about the fuse. About to pull that puppy right now and to the store tomorrow for a brake light bumper switch!
Had this problem with our 94 Honda Accord and I was thinking there was a short somewhere in the electrical system. Glad I found this video. Great advice. Thanks!
Thank you for this great video! Usually, people skip parts because they assume their audience knows mechanics (I'm a Spanish teacher, I know nada about cars). However, you showed me exactly where everything is! And I did find the little piece on the floor!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Way to go!!! Taking on the challenge of fixing an electric problem on your car...come to find out...it wasn't electrical at all.
muy bueno!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thank you so much for taking the time out to make this video!!! It was truly helpful!!
replaced one a few years ago but had forgot about it. Used a screw and nut temp until i can get the plastic tab tomorrow. Great video thanks!!!
I can't thank you enough. Just like u said I found mine broken on the floor of the car. You saved the day.
Thanks for this video and the two penny method. I really didn't want to go out tonight and now I've bought myself time to get the part myself.
excellent camera work, excellent narration. super helpful video.
Perfect !!! Video explanation is awesome !!! I found broken pieces on the floor of my Honda Accord 2000 as you said.. I bought the parts from autozone for $8. I removed the fuse to avoid battery draining... Will fix the pedal stop tomorrow in daylight ...Thank you very much !!!
Awesome...nice job tackling that job yourself. 👍
thanks for the tip. I just came home from work this evening and my brakes lights wouldn't turn off. I kinda knew what was the problem since it happened to my '00 Honda Civic but I've since sold it and now have a '98 Accord. It was great to see this video with the same car.
Thank you sir!! This happened to my daughter last night and we bought the bumper for $10.99 and my step down replaced it ❤️… super helpful
This video saved me money. Quick, easy, do it yourself... O'Reilly had the part it was fixed within 10 minutes
I just had exact problem tonight, like what you said, I found the broken bumper in the car and put it back, the lights are off. Will buy the new bumper to get problem fixed. Thank you so much for this great video!!!
Fist thing that came up and this is exactly what my issue was! $5 fix. Really appreciate it man.
Thank you also I noticed before the stopper broke. My brake light warning sign has been on. Before this problem actually happened. Giving me a warning that the brake pedal stopper was probably bout to break off. Thanks again great video.
u just gotta love this guys voice,lmao. he said"SO...U CAME HOME ,n your brake lights were ON..."...i was expecting him to say " your doomed , all doomed " or something like that,hah hah hah. but the infio was good.thnx mr.doitmyself
LMBO 🤣😂🤣😂👍
Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
dude thank you for making this video. saved me a headache. you’re awesome dude

Thanks for the video. This happened to me last night and finding this saved me so much time and money!
Thank u so much for ur video, u saved me from Unnecessarily buying a battery, I noticed my tail lights were on and draining my battery, thank u so so so much
Thanks. I used the double back penny trick until I could get to the parts store. Works!
Sir,I want to thank you for saving my brand new battery.Excellent video.
My brake lights went out and this video helped out alot thanks. Your video was clear and easy to follow.
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you very much for sharing this video! Helped me alot today to turn my brake lights off! 😍
Because of your video, I was able to save time (my brother didn't have to come & fix it), money (I thought about taking it to shop) & my sanity (I tend to say F-It quickly). Thanks for posting this & helping me to self diagnose the problem.
Extremely helpful!!!! even on my civic...thank you for the detailed information
Your a life saver I couldn't figure out why my car was dying all day. Seriously thank you!!!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thank you so much for the posting this fix! Also, for showing what fuse to take out in the interim in waiting for the new part. I didn't want to disconnect the battery cables after every time I drove the car. Sure enough, I found the plastic pieces broken in the floor.
I was walking back to my car in a parking lot and noticed my brake lights were on. I thought, could it be a reflection or was someone in my car!?! I was thankful there was not a thief in my car, but frustrated finding I had a new car problem to fix. This easy-tof-follow video saved me a fortune compared to what the stealership would have charged. Thanks again!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thanks so much. Today after work my brake light was on got home my neighbors and let me know that the light was still on.
I tried this and that and then I watch your video and I found a little broken screw plastic screw. That look like a piece of crayon. Anyway I use a plastic screw from the back of the trunk where the brake lights are. It works great I put it in there and the brake light went off. I press the brake light and came back on.
I thought I would have to pay a lot of money and waste time off of work. But this save me a a lot of time and money at a machic.
Even so I will go to the store and get me one of those, it's 10 pm now. and I thought I had one in the car anyway, this works great thank you.
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
this is impressive, I had a similar problem some few mins ago and I just followed the process in this video, it worked perfectly! thank you so much for posting this
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
I trust YT video more then any auto shop out there. They would charge 200 just for this work. Many thanks to U.
You bet brother! I just make sure to watch as many videos as you can, so you get more than one opinion. Glad I could help shed some light on the removal.
Thank you for posting this one brother! It saved my weekend!!!
My car battery died today cause my brake lights wouldn’t turn off… found this video.. 10$ later and it’s fixed. Thank you 🎉
Have a 96 Accord, going to give it a shot. Really appreciate the afterthought of disabling the lights until part obtained. Made it look easy, hoping this is the fix for me. Thanks!
OMGEEE THANK GOD FOR HELPFUL VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!! I thought I had a car computer problem or something. But this was exactly the issue THANKS!!!!! 2 THUMBS UP!
Thanks for the video. This was the only one I found that showed exactly where to place the part.
God Bless You for making this video man! I was freaking out thank God I had figured out about the fuse but I was afraid it was going to be a ton of money to fix and i have no men around me to help me. But thank God I came across your video! Now I know what to do when buy the part tomorrow! Thank You Thank You Thank You!
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thanks for the video. I checked fuses and then found your video. I found the plastic price broken on the floor. Great job! Simple fix thankfully.
Ah!!! Plastic on the floor gives it away again. Live hearing the feedback on those plastic bits on the floorboard as a dead giveaway.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
saw many youtube videos on this issue because I've just it. This is the best of all... very well shown and explained. Thank you DoItMyself HomeRepair
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thank you. This help so much. As soon as you pulled the packaged piece out. I realize that I saw the broken pieces on the floor mat of my seat
My pleasure! Glad it all worked out. 👍
Nice job for tackling that repair yourself!👍👍👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thank you for such useful information. It has helped me correct this problem on my 2000 Honda Accord. I wish, I had watched this video first. I didn't know the fuse box option to disconnect the back lights. I disconneted my battery
Thank you!!! Exactly how you said in the video. I even found the broken black piece. You are awesome!!
Thank you for this video. My son just made his first car repair because of you. Thanks a million.
That is the best ever comment! Thank you.
And ya know, when you learn you can teach yourself, you become very powerful.
Thanks for the video. Had to use the little rubber bushing as the plastic white bushing didn't fit. But your video helped me solve the problem of the light. Also great mention of broken parts on floor. I found the cone portion and thought it was a Crayola on the floor. Quick fix thanks to your video...not a dead battery and panic to fix two issues. Thanks 😊
Awesome! Nice job fixing it yourself 👍
You're the man! I had this problem with my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. I bought the brake pedal stop pad at autozone, and fixed it. Thanks!
Thank you for this! I have a 2001 Civic and had to use the black one vs. white. But thank God it was a super easy $8 fix. For anyone aprehensive about doing it, it's literally turning the panel knob, popping it off, putting the stopper in, putting the panel back and done. I'm not into cars or fix them. I'm actually a girly girl and I was cool with fixing it.
