my uncles del sol brake lights are stuck on. Since the brake switch is 50 bucks is there a quick way to test this. i'll have some time to pull the fuse box and check the switch in a few days. any help would be great.
i believe its a 1994 del sol d16z6

 

the brake switch attached to the brake pedal is just a simple switch

you can disconnect it and put a jumper wire in the connector to see if it comes on or off, idk which does which

but that'll determine a faulty switch

 

The switch is a button, that when properly adjusted will brake the connection for the lights to be on when the pedal is NOT depressed. you will be able to see the button just above the rubber foot mount, it is not attached to the brae pedal, it is closer to the driver and you can adjust it with 2 10mm wrenches.

 

this happened to mine. under the brake pedal there is like a little grommit thing that broke off (for me at least) check to see if its broken. and if it is then just take a small bolt and put on it or atleast thats what i did. it helped out.

thank you, so much i'll look into the missing tab i thought i saw plastic on the carpet... a 2dallor fix would be sweet! i'll keep you posted

 

brake light can be stuck on also when your low on brake fluid. check that first. if your talking about the dash light? if not maybe your pedal needs adjusted?

 

i looked at a few hours ago the plastic piece is broke....the link helped
thanks

 

not a prob. glad you got it fixed

 

Yeah that thing is a son of a bitch to get back in too!! Mine had gotten stuck on and it was just simply really Dusty!! But i took it out an cleaned it up..Easy fix, Good luck OP
