I called a mechanic shop he made it sound so complicated and gave me a price of $100.00 to fix said parts alone would cost $40.00, I am a 64 year old woman , looked at your video and I got a screw and nut and fixed it myself in 5 to 10 minutes. great easy to understand video. Thank you!
Señor Dominguez!!!! I have been struggling for 15 min trying to get the plug in!! You were the only video that mentioned TURNING ON THE CAR to make the brake pedal easier to depress!! This created the extra room I needed to insert the plug!! Thank you SO MUCH!! 👍😀
I've seen a lot of these videos about replacing the rubber stopper/ bumper but you said something that made a light go off in my head. You mentioned that your vehicle was ON. Nobody else said anything about your car or SUV being on. You get so much more play out of the brake when the car is on. Thanks Carlos!
Thanks Carlos! I watch your clip this morning and fixed my brake light issue with some simple bits from the garage I had. Saved me a lot of time and money!
Best tutorial on this issue that I found. I actually found the broken plastic brake sensor pad. On the floor of my car under the pedal. You saved me so much time and money, a BIG thank you!
for anyone needing to know. He used a license plate fasteners kit [Dorman 785‑122]. Fixed my problem with the brake light staying on and my cruise control not working.
I've been dealing with this problem for months an was using sticks an pens to kept my light off.. your video helped my boyfriend just fix it in 10 mins! Thank you so much! Your awesome! Great explaining an video! Honest guy!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you, sir, for the detailed troubleshooting on camera! I had my battery drained too and after recharging it and putting it back, I noticed the brake lights constantly on. I suspected the sensor switch right away and even inspected it, but had no idea there should be a pad installed. That explained the plastic debris that I found laying on my carpet under the pedals... I can't believe they were made out of plastic. I replaced the pad with a metal bolt and a nut. This thing is not coming off any soon! Thanks again for the help!
I watch the video first, and later the next day had too run up town so put the cable's back onto battery , then took off too get groceries. On the way I stopped at the mechanics shop just too see what they would charge and he told me at least $300 too diagnosed the problem & he was saying it was in the wire harness, that it got burned and that's why it was staying on. I new he was just trying to make a buck. Anyways I left from there and went and got groceries and returned home. That evening my 9 year old grandson came over too visit and I sat down and we both watched your video together and I had him put the bolts in while I pushed the break's 😁. He only charge me $5 buck's LoL and I had the bolts in the shop. Thank you for having these kind of videos made , it really saved me Money. I see how these crook's at mechanics shops make there money. Thanks again 👍
I replaced my brake booster today and went through a similar situation with my brake switch but ordered a new one today from Amazon for little to nothing.I got a cardboard and drawstring on the senor now but will be taking it off after seeing your video until my order comes,thanks a million...
Thank you very much for this video I just did this to my 2007 infinity g35 Our mechanic told us bring it in and $200 😒 we watched your video,a quick drive to our local auto part store and 5 minutes later wallaaaaa job was done
Wow I just bought a new switch and was having trouble getting the old one off so I came across this video. I tried the pad idea first and BINGO! Thanks bro. 👍🏽
Man this video was a godsend. Literally took me 5 minutes to fix after watching this video. Luckily my fiance is 5 foot nothing so I made her crawl under while I held the brake pedal. Thanks again man.
NICE IDEA USING AUTO BODY TRIM SCREWS FOR A FIX ! I saw the pieces on my floorboard to my sensor pads but didn't know what they were at the time ! I sure do now & the trim screws will be a perfect fix. Silly parts store sold me a new switch but it is the brake switch pads, not the switch, that had disintegrated. My cruise control brake switch sensor pad went first , then my actual brake lights pad went. Same problem, brake lights were on constantly ! Lesson learned ,if you see little pieces of plastic on your floorboard & you didn't put them there it is probably important to find out where they came from So glad to get my cruise control back too !
A big thanks to you for posting this video. It was very helpful in fixing my car that I was about to take to a mechanic. I saw the rubber pad laying on the floor but did not know what it was. Have a blessed day, life, eternity. CZcams is an awesome way to share info.
Thanks for this, Carlos! I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima and had the same problem. Just like yours, there was a second switch (and mine was behind the steering column -- made me glad I have long, skinny fingers!) and that was the problem. I'm going to share this on facebook in case anyone else I know has the same problem!
Hello I don't know how often you get this but I have the same problem I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima did the same method fixed your problem my brake lights are stuck and they won't go off
Thank you Carlos! I have a 2004 Infiniti fx35. I came straight to your video when my issue started last night. I removed the battery cable and I saw a broken plastic screw on my floor inside the truck
After watching your video this is what I did. I noticed that my broken stopper (2004 Hyundai Elantra) was as thick as 2 nickels, so I used 5 minute epoxy and epoxied 2 nickels together. Then, I waited an hour and cleaned up the spot where the old stopper was, and 5 minute epoxied the 2 nickels in place of the stopper. The pressure of the switch was enough to hold it in place. Thanks Carols!
Awesome video!!! My Toyota truck's brake light did not want to turn off. I was able to replace my broken plastic factory piece with a small metal bolt to activate the brake light switch. Amount I paid $0.00. Thank you!!!
Thank you for showing exactly where to insert the bumper pad. I have watched several videos on Hyundai’s and not one has shown exactly where to put the part. Thanks again.
Big thank you it was better than a mechanic guessing l did fix it all happiness. Keep posting me and many more will appreciate thanks again god bless you
Buddy thanks heaps.. didn't have a trim screw, but used a wall plug with screw cut short and inserted into wall plug.. . Great help from my daughter her car. Like in your case.. thanks again
thank you so much, I thought I needed to buy a new sensor but I just opened it and clean it up cuz the little nipple was stuck, replace it back and works fine . thank you so much God bless you
Thank you! I have not tried this yet but I'm pretty sure its what's happening to my Nissan Teana. I thought it might be a big problem and big money....I saw broken plastic under the break pedal and wondered where it came from now I know. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!
2020 and it just helped me with my Kia 🔥🔥 I have a pen holding it for now but going to Lowe’s in the morning I’m sure this will work I already see the hole for the screw
The first sensor you fixed was the cruise control which has no effect on the brake switch .I had to replace both, needed to lower steering column to make it more accessible.

That is awesome to hear!!
Wish I would have known this before. I spent the 11 bucks for a switch
Ada Aurigemma wow, you watch CZcams videos yourself, or did a friend or daughter or son tell you about CZcams
Are you sure that is safe?
💪🏾

Carlos I used your video a year ago to fix my son's car, today I watched again the video for my car. Thank you soo much!

Thank you, Carlos!! Worked like a charm!! I used Dorman part 785-126D. On my 99 infinity.
Thanks again!!
Thanks for the video. It helped me pinpoint the problem on my 96 Pathfinder.
It was a major pain to reach in and change the stopper.
Wow I just bought a new switch and was having trouble getting the old one off so I came across this video. I tried the pad idea first and BINGO! Thanks bro. 👍🏽
Worked on Honda CRV 2001, helpful video I used a 1/4 20 bolt and nut works just as good. Thanks
Man this video was a godsend. Literally took me 5 minutes to fix after watching this video. Luckily my fiance is 5 foot nothing so I made her crawl under while I held the brake pedal. Thanks again man.
