Your brake pedal should return to its fully up position whenever you remove your foot. If you have to pull the pedal up then something is definately not right.





The brake light is operated by a microswitch near the top of the pedal assembly and it needs the pedal to be fully released before it switches off. This is a safety feature designed to give following vehicles warning whenever the brakes are applied - even if it's only the teensiest bit.





Check that nothing is obstructing the pedal's return, such as carpet or trim. Ensure that the return spring is securely attached and that the bearings are free. A spot of WD40 or 3in1 oil should help. If you can get it in then apply some light grease. Do the accellerator and clutch while you're under there.





While you're under the dashboard have a look and see if anything in or around the pedal brackets is bent. This sometimes happens, even though it shouldn't.





In the last resort you will have a sticky microswitch. These cannot be repaired but replacements aren't expensive and it should be self-evident how it's fitted.
Reply:This is not the switch (not all switches are under the pedal anyway). The fact that you have to lift the pedal up with your foot should give you a clue - the pedal is not coming up all the way.





Three possibilities -





It just needs a bit of oil.





The return spring is weak.





The pivot is worn.





OK, four possibitities:





The master cylinder or push-rod is sticking.





Check them out in that order.
Reply:If the brake light is staying on constantly and ONLY goes off when pulling the pedal up with your foot...the first place I would start is at the brake pedal switch....which is located under the dash and attached to the to the brake pedal assembly...it sounds like the switch is adjusted too far out and is being activated by the weight of the pedal assembly.....slowly adjust away from the pedal until the light goes off...***CAUTION***......if the switch is adjusted too far away...you could lose your brake lights entirely....be careful.
Reply:There is a small switch either on the brake pedal or on the body of the car under the brake pedal (depending on make and model) that is pressed when you press the pedal. This switch causes the brake light to come on.





Your switch either needs moving slightly or greasing up so that it is not operating when the brake pedal is in its normal (not being operated) position.
Reply:Try a drop of oil on the mechanism at the top of the pedal lever. You might have to unhook the carpet to get at it.

Reply:this sounds like a faulty peddle switch , and are very easy to change.
Reply:adjust your brake pedal to the specified clearance, or til the light don't come on unless the pedal is pushed.
Reply:this is a brake light switch fault this switch is at the top of the pedal.
