hi, this morning, i notice my car brake light is not turn off even after i matikan the car engine.

and notice there are some plastic thing broke in my carpet.

then i went to this bengkel, and they put something like a layer of plastic and some double sided tape and the light now can turn off.

but is this long term solution? just double side tape? how is it work?

wat car 1st?

Honda Jazz

take off the key still got light?

yup.

the wire connection behind loose. my car had the same thing..but the connection from brake pedal was loose.

plugged it, and no problem.

mine was fixed using a plastic and double sided tape... is it long term? or should i send to other workshop?

just leave it i guess. should be fine..

i had this problem once, middle of the night summore, alarm keep sounding cz brake light still on.
what my dad did, was disconnect the battery until send to mechanic next morning. btw make sure they check the brakes, see whether they stuck or not, can cause alot of problems later...trust me

that called short circuit

yah black tape is good enough

go to spare part shop, order from them

or go SC

the reason why is becuz the plastic holder to hold the switch to activate the brake lamp ald break into pieces due to usage (it's normal)

A better and cheaper solution is to replace them with metal spacers instead of buying a new OEM part since it will break down later

so i can just rileks now? im afraid it will rosak lagi in the middle of the night, then battery all kong...

i afraid cannot hold, or if the adhesive wear of, might turn on the light again...

sound to me like your wiring problem...probably...but either way juz take some other bengkel and ask them if they can fix it with replacement parts

buy new car

Tak payah la sc

They will charge you mahal mahal

probably better to fix it when u can since u are not feeling easy with it.

I'm also puzzled that the person fix it using double sided tape since it's not really a long term solution.

He ald stated that there are broken small pieces of plastic under the pedals. If wiring problems, shud have blown the fuses ald

SC sure mahal la, but better safe than sorry

later mess up by soo 'experience' mechanic, good luck.

can try go reliable battery shop

its like double sided tape, and they use some thick paper (like the box one)... so it become a bit thick....

but yes, im not feeling easy, if battery kong, lagi sakit....
