THANKS! Helped me a lot. My brake lights were staying on even when car was off...had to pull the fuse to shut them off. I found that my switch was actually good...the green plastic spacer was cracked and fell apart. So I made one out of a plastic bottle cap by cutting it down and then heated it up with a lighter to mold a nipple in center so it would seat into hole on brake pedal arm, and filled in the recessed other side with melted plastic...and put some super glue on it, and on the retaining nut as well since It would have been very difficult to get a wrench in there. Works great now.
The green grommet cracked apart and left the brake lights on in my brother’s car too. We just cut a magnet in the same shape and taped it in place. Fixed it.
There are other videos that go thru step by step since the process of removing the switch is similar with other cars. As far as the kick panel goes the removal is easy but it gets harder from there when it comes time to replace the switch. Since we are dealing with brakes I recommend asking an expert mechanic.

...alsoI didn't have to remove any panel...just pulled the connector off and then was able to unscrew the switch. Hope this helps someone.
Glad you found the workaround.
Best video yet!!

really did not show how to remove it or reinstall, not much worth seeing!!
I did not want to repeat other videos which cover the removal process. Brake light switch removal is very similar to other cars. Thanks.
