Brake lights stay on
Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2025 9:53 am
I was doing my pre-MOT checks this morning and discovered that the brake lights are always on regardless of the pedal position(!).
Investigating the switch that is pushed by the pedal, there is clearly a missing piece - the pedal has a bracket with a small hole that is evidently meant to contain a piece of plastic or rubber to contact the switch - this is missing, but from the marks on the hole it looks like it is blue.
For now I've bodged it with a piece of foam and duck tape (and got the MOT pass
), but I was wondering if anyone has a photo of the piece I am missing, and even better if it is for sale anywhere?
