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....

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??

battery shop to check anything wrong with wiring

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)

if disconnect battery wont reset the ECU?

im noob, and i have read about this somewhere....

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)

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

found this on the net, i guess this is the same case, now i understand where they out the plastic.... but stick only using double sided, thats what worries me... haha

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.

Reference video:

Dont know if same or not, but my wife old kancil once had that problem. Change a switch at the brake pedal. It was stuck or broken cant remember.

Lols, i guess it all boils down to the person that DIY ur problems.... My fren did a great job and niggling sound or wat so ever... FYI, my fren own a mudguard shop btw....

Biasa la, cars have so many parts waiting to spoil.... every case is unique lo

so i guess tmrw i will search for this bumper la... dont feel easy with just double sided tape.... lol....

but dunno where can find...

U just go find ur SC, see how much the replacements cost.... if cheap grab it la

ok will do. plan to MC tomorrow... hahaha....

Kezman the mod from the evil forum?

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.

just changed the rubber stopper at Quicksave USJ. at first, they guy who did my car dont know about this rubber, so he suggest to alter the switch, luckily i know, so i show him the video post previously...

then he show to his like office people, turn out they do got stock for this thing.

cost me rm10.....

at first i go to Honda SC, guess what, they dont sell this rubber thing, must buy whole set.... watafafafak?

just the rubber ring and plactic tat attach to the switch wich is when u press the brake pedal,da switch turn off..if u release ur brake pedal,its turn on..if u undrstnd la..

Trust ur instinct luke, maybe there are other issues than just that.

i kena before...just replace a plastic thing laa...2 to 5 ringgit only...no wiring issue..
