SC sure mahal la, but better safe than sorry

Goin to SC is recommended if there is something serious. However, this is trivial stuff and even if u used back the original parts for this problem. This will happen again, the simplest and cost effective is using a couple of metal spacers, bolts and nuts. Guaranteed u never have to fuss about this problem again. I kena before and my fren fix it for me. Used for 5yrs and no problem til i sold off my car.

Err.... go battery shop for wat?? laugh.gif laugh.gif

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

If the problem arises when there's no ppl to fix it at night:-

1. just disconnect ur battery

2. disconnect one of the fuse for the rear brake lamps

3. take out ur rear lamp bulb (labor intensive)

some cars, if disconnect battery = reset ECU (yours, i dunno)

If battery kong. Change battery, turn ur key on, let the ECU do it's parameter check, then only starts the car, let it idle a few minutes before driving (no problem for most cars) biggrin.gif

Then u just disconnect the fuse lo. For honda, most the fuses located beneath the dashboard of driver side (right)

It is called brake pedal switch bumper. Made of rubber. Mine was broken after 8 years. The parts can be seen scattered on the carpet.
1st step, I went to one accs shop and they replaced it with a bolt and nut. Paid RM5 for the job.

Not feeling comfortable with metal hitting the plastic switch everytime so I went to SC to replace it with the actual rubber bumper during a periodical service.
Forgot how much the thing cost but should be around RM10~20 for a small rubber part.

Probably you can buy it cheaper at the spare parts shop and replace yourself.

just happen to me last week also. like volfeed said, normally mechanics put in bolt and nut to secure the thing. and normally the double sided will not last, its more of a temporary solution.
