You saved my life man. I have to drive on the highway to work tomorrow, and my fusion was in limp mode. All because of a piece of plastic. I couldn’t find a replacement without ordering online, and your recommendation fit perfect. Thank you
This video is spot on thank you! I had this problem like many others so I'll include some additional info below to save you all some time when trying to figure this out. ***READ ME*** - As soon as you notice this issue, check the floor on the driver's side for the broken rubber/plastic stopper. If found, you'll know the problem and save you some time. 😎 In my case I had to take out the brake switch and it fell out. - The car can still be driven if absolutely necessary, but when trying to accelerate past 40/50 mph (second gear) the car will prevent this (I saw this with quite a few instances of this problem, including for myself). From a few forums with 'certified mechanics' they say since the car thinks the brakes are on, it will go into 'limp mode' and act as mentioned above not letting the car go past 2nd gear. - This is a common issue for this vehicle as the little rubber brake switch retainer (the little rubber/plastic nail thing) often falls apart. - Test the brake switch (blue and gray thing) with a multimeter to make sure that's not the problem. - If you can't fix it right away or are worried about your battery dying, you can pull out the little white plug going to the brake switch which will disconnect the brake lights from power. This must be plugged back in to drive though as the car will be stuck in 'Park' without it.
the other videos didnt show that stopper. when i took my switch off, i saw the stopper was broken, so im glad you showed this. also, what a pain to try and do this while holding your phone to record lol great job
Thank you I got it fixed! I was able to adjust the big screw out a couple turns to get the brake lights to extinguish by letting the switch extend fully. So far so good without needing a clip on this one. I see the hole you talked about that forms over time and needs the clip to fill it, so we'll see if it becomes an issue again in the future. Everything is working again for now 👍
Had the exact problem. Thanks for this. Saved me a trip to the dealership. I had to use GM body “trim panel retainers” from autozone because all the advance auto parts were out of the ones you used but still worked flawlessly regardless!
First of all I want to thank you very very much from the bottom of my heart because your video save my parents a lot of money I was asking the question yesterday because I'm not mechanic and I was watching that video over and over again today and then I was able to figure it out what you're talkin about Also on your car you have screw to release the brake pedal oh my Dad"s it's little difference but I was able to figure it out I went to Ford this morning and I asked for the broken part and they say unfortunately I have to buy the whole pedal assembly which was almost $300 And then I realize what you did it And I did the same thing got that part number just took me a little longer 3x time but I was able to do it Again I'm sorry for the stupid question yesterday and thank you very very very much for posting the video You save me and my parents a lot of money God bless you brother
Man no problem I'm real happy my video was able to help you get it done for the family, now your family cuz we get it done with out the dealership (at least when ever we can right). But most importantly there's no stupid question because in order for a person to have common since, they first would have to go thru the situation first and then it becomes common since after. Like and Subscribe to see more videos and if you want to hit like on all my videos that would be fine too🤣🎊🎉👌
Great job . I was experiencing the same problem yesterday . I watch your video and try What you did with the same pin at advance and it work for me . Thank you !!
Thank you so much! And you are absolutely right about the size of the retainer. I had a bunch that were slightly bigger and it was a nightmare. And on the 2013 Fusion they box in that whole area that you need to access with a steel casing. I finally realized if I pulled the brake lever 'up' I could get the receiving hole for the retainer flush with the top of the casing (which is not present on your model). I then gently pressed with a screwdriver to get the retainer to seat itself. I had to look at your video a couple of times to realize that the release of the brake is actually pulling the retainer through the final part of that small opening after you have most of it into the receiving hole. Without your video I'd still be out there.
All I can say is thank you.... Im in nursing school stressed to the max... Then come out of class and brake lights on. Will be attempting tomorrow..... I have homework tonight...car and chemistry what a pair. 😂
Liked. Most vids show the lights on even with the engine off. That's not my problem. So am still searching. A year ago I had to remove brake pedal as part of re...reputting! silicone seal under brake reservoir which was rotted due to blocked drains under windscreen grill. I'd had a 1" deep pool of water in the driver's side. Forgot to replace spring that pulls back the pedal. .. but it wasn't that! Still searching.
Thank goodness for this video! Hubby has a 2014 so it was just a little different. I was taking the dog out at 5 am this morning and saw the break lights on couldn’t figure out why until I came across this video.
I tried 64 and I tried to do what you said but I can’t get behind the panel so I don’t know how to get the panel that’s underneath my steering column off to get to that switch or to get to that other thing otherwise your lesson was great. I’m gonna have to keep the lights on for 24 hours and well until tomorrow morning when I can take it to the auto parts store or Jiffy Lube and have them fix it for me because I can’t get under there, I don’t know how to get under there. I looked it doesn’t look like it’s easy to remove the panel so that I can get to that break part but thanks for the lesson. I’ll let you know if I get it fixed.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm trying so hard to get to that piece. I have the switch out, but can't get any further than that 😓. I purchased a grommet, but it's a rubber piece and it's not nearly as small as what you showed. I DO have 2 of those ones you have that the guy from advance auto gave me. So it's the big screw that it looks like I need to get off huh? I'll have to try again in the morning
Is your car floor not covered with floor carpet? I have same issue and bought the part to do the same fix, but my under dash area is covered by the driver side floor carpet and dunno how to peel it off without damaging
Hey mane, could you please tell me the type and size of bit you used to loosen the break pedal? I have the exact problem happening on a 2014 Fusion Hybrid rn
@@davidybarra791 ... They do have a recall, but it's not for all states. Only states that have high humidity. I live in California and my car current has this problem. So apparently it's a complete model defect.
You just save me so much money, thank you!!!! I was out and noticed my brake light was on without me being in the car and my car was having trouble accelerating on the freeway. I just changed out the brake switch and my problem is solved. Brake light is now working properly and now no problems accelerating. Thank you again !
Oh my goodness! That's the same issue I'm having!! My car just stopped accelerating yesterday. It won't go over 40 and then I have to switch it to manual for me to get any kind of speed! The guy at advance auto told me my switch was good and that I needed a "grommet" spacer thing. I just want to be able to drive again 😩
Thanks for posting. Had the same issue ystrdy on my 2014 Ford Fusion SE. Car was stalling at 2k rpm, brake lights stayed on. Went to do as you did but couldn't see that screw you loosened! Removed the switch Depress/release spring on the switch & could hear it clicking??? so the 2 black pieces near the oval part of the switch I was able to move them slightly & doing so the switch spring lost all its resistance, depress/release switch spring = brake light didn't work at all, moved the 2 pcs back into place & switch regain resistance, reinstalled switch & brake lights now work as normal, no longer stuck on car no longer stalling at 45mph, still throwing DTC C0040-64, but drive normal. Were you getting any codes before or after your fix?
I followed your advice and it all worked but when I tighten the bolt back lights come back on. I have to keep the bolt so loose to get them to stay off that the bolt works it self too loose. Any tips?
Yeah this has happened twice in my fusion and mustang car felt like it was hesitating then notice the brake lights were staying on and saw the broken clip on the floor board $30 brake light switch took less than 5 minutes to change it easy fix
The same happened to me. My brake lights stayed on; my car was also hesitating when I got to around 40 mph. My car is under recall, so Ford is fixing the issue.
I have a 2014 Ford Fusion and currently having the same problem. To be honest... I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what you're doing. The camera is all over the place and don't know what is up or down. I got the removing the trigger module off, but you cut right to removing a screw and don't explain why. One quick question; did the engine light turn on when you had this problem? Mine did at the same time I found out about the light problem. Just trying to see if they are related. Thanks for your time.
Great video I'm going to try this today bc I walked out this morning any my car is dead but my lights are on... my question is, what does the bumper retainer do? I'm not understanding what I'm fixing and/or replacing since you're not replacing the switch itself. Could you briefly explain? Thank you in advance and thank you for posting this vid.
Yeah, I don't get it either. He doesn't actually SHOW the repair!? Everyone else is like "Great, thanks"! And I feel like a moron because I only see he took the switch off, took the bolt out (not even sure why that was necessary) and then put them both back on again??
Our 2016 Ford fusion brake lights stay on and car hesitates We thought we got bad gas. Then we saw the Ford recall for some brake pad bumper. But then we saw your video. We saw other people with this issue who also disconnected battery. We never would have figured this out if not for people like you who share knowledge! Thanks. Can you share IS that plastic thing a bumper? When you have time can you comment? I understand the brake switch just not the other thing you were replacing? Thanks.
I've been going through the brake light switch staying on for too long.I even bought two new brake light switches 6 months apart the lights still stayed on.I added a piece to better touch the brake sensor then the sensor would be stuck and I have to take it out to move the small lever to unlock the black tube on the brake switch to turn the lights off still had the problem.Today I ordered a brake peda replacement l I already had changed my gas pedal a few months ago so what the hell. Hopefully it'll fix the issue if not then it's electrical a deeper issue and will go to the mechanic if it occurs again.
@@trublu305 jc..wanted to know if you have a video to change 2012 intermediate steering shaft. I know you have the video for the electric steering but wanted minimal dismantling of under dash to access bolt on spline....and how access of bolt below floorboard is?? Let me know. Thanks bro bro
j c mechanic scott thanks for that info, my brake lights started this last night, I need a mechanic to fix this, what's your rate , well, first off are you in houston tx?
Quick question..so mine was on all night then i came back out the next morning & my battery was dead of course. Pretty much do u think i need a new battery also?
No your battery doesn't need to be replaced at all you would just need to take it to the nearest auto parts store. they will charge it for free, for 35mins and test the battery after.
Mine does the smas thing but I drove it and it loses power to acceleration. I have no clue what it may be. Anybody have any ideas? Money is tight right now :/
Thanks for that comment and giving everybody the heads up that there’s a recall out for this now. And can you give any details on what to say and what to expect when dealing with the recall. Thanks In advance
Good evening besides doing what you did it why don't you just replace the a whole brake light switch? Don't you think it's more easy than go to all that It's just a question though just trying to figure out why you did all that? Thank you very much
Yea no problem I can answer that. In this case the switch isn't the problem, how I know or find out is by pressing the button on the brake switch and seeing if the brake light turn off. If the light turn off then you know the switch is working fine. Now the problem is there actually is supposed to be a little plastic Circle that presses the brake switch when you release the brake paddle. But over time it fall apart, and leave a whole there instead now the brake switch never get pressed so the brake light never turn off. Which is why we put a small clip In the hole to press the brake switch and reason why your brake lights will now turn off when you release from pressing the brake paddle
@@trublu305 "Which is why we put a small clip in the hole". Does the video SHOW this part of the process? You putting the clip in the hole? I see you put the clip in the SWITCH hole, but you clearly don't LEAVE it in there because you can't. You have to put the switch back in there. What hole did you put the small clip in? Where is that in the video???
Hello thanks for this video. My question is, hill assist unavailable warning light came up and off on my 2015 Ford Fusion and the car suddenly not driving smoothly and When I packed the the break light will not go off. Is the solution the same as what you explained in the video??? Ones again thank you.
First I think you should look for the brake switch going base off my video and press the button on the brake switch and have some one check to see if the lights are turning off. If the light are turning of then yes this video will help your situation if not you have another problem.
@@trublu305 Thanks bro… I took the switch out and pressed it and the light went off. I’m going to get the clip and do it the way you did yours. I will give you the feedback. Thanks man!!! Dealership is not getting my $ this time😂😃
My car is doing the same thing where the hill assist unavailable keeps coming on and off and my car is not driving smoothly along with the break lights not turning off, but hopefully this solution will fix the problem. Thank you for the video.
I feel like a dummy because I don't see where you did any repair! Is there something that's MISSING from this video that we're supposed to just know? What did you actually DO with the nissan bumper retainer?
Thank you!! I was able to use the larger replacement piece, but I never would have been able to get it in there without your video.

No your battery doesn't need to be replaced at all you would just need to take it to the nearest auto parts store. they will charge it for free, for 35mins and test the battery after.
Hey there are you available? Mine seems to be stuck should I kinda put some force behind it when I turn it clockwise or counterclockwise?
Yea you would have to put force with it
Good fix
Mine does the smas thing but I drove it and it loses power to acceleration. I have no clue what it may be. Anybody have any ideas? Money is tight right now :/
If you press the button and the brake lights don't go off, could it be the switch itself?
Unplug it if goes off then that would mean it's the switch
If I unplug this plug would I be able to crank my car
I'm not seeing the screw you're adjusting after taking off the switch
Did you have to remove the dash
No I did not have to remove the dash all I had to do is go under the dash like In the video

Hello thanks for this video. My question is, hill assist unavailable warning light came up and off on my 2015 Ford Fusion and the car suddenly not driving smoothly and When I packed the the break light will not go off. Is the solution the same as what you explained in the video???
Ones again thank you.
First I think you should look for the brake switch going base off my video and press the button on the brake switch and have some one check to see if the lights are turning off. If the light are turning of then yes this video will help your situation if not you have another problem.

Thanks bro… I took the switch out and pressed it and the light went off. I’m going to get the clip and do it the way you did yours. I will give you the feedback. Thanks man!!! Dealership is not getting my $ this time😂😃
@@teejaydon9006 😁 ok thanks great to know let me know how everything works out
My car is doing the same thing where the hill assist unavailable keeps coming on and off and my car is not driving smoothly along with the break lights not turning off, but hopefully this solution will fix the problem. Thank you for the video.
@@moniquerodriguez8748 yea I feel the same way keep me updated
I unplugged it and its still on.
I feel like a dummy because I don't see where you did any repair! Is there something that's MISSING from this video that we're supposed to just know? What did you actually DO with the nissan bumper retainer?
Yes sr 🫡 appreciate it did work on mine thanks…
God bless you bro…
