I had this problem twice, first time in 2018 dealer took it under recall, it happened again this week, the grommet had a hole; instead of a grommet, I used a small round magnet and placed it on the brake arm under the switch, permanent cost pennies and took all of 30 seconds.
@@MM-st2pf yes. Look for brake light or brake pedal recall. It's just a rubber grommet, that seems to wear out or break apart. That sucker affects your Dole /Brake lights staying on which seems to cause your battery to drain and the computer to make a decision you want to stop and it will slow you down as you drive. This also affects cruise control and another warning light ( forgot which one atm ).
Thanks, brother. My son called me the other night from where he works. He said his car would not start (2012 Elantra). I drove out there with some jumper cables and a few tools. When I got there the break lights being on threw me for a loop. I noticed pieces of plastic on the driver's side floorboard. I knew then that the pedal stop was probably the issue, as this had happened to my 2002 MR2 Spyder years before. I didn't remember exactly how I had fixed the problem. I immediately searched you tube on my i-phone and your video popped up. I refreshed myself through your video and used some gum to kind of put the plastic pieces back together and hold them in place under the brake switch plunger. This turned the brake lights off. I jump started his car and he was able to get it home with me following him. I was able to find an automotive plastic fastener in the garage and put that in to hold better (than the gum) until I could order and receive some new pedal stoppers from ebay. When they came in, I had my son watch your video so that he could learn how the brake switch system works, what the problem was, and where to install the new stopper. Thanks again for the refresher video; you made me look like a hero in front of my wife and my son!
This video really helped me fix my Hyundai Elantra 2015 brake lights, I got worried as i got home today to see these light's on and got me thinking it was some electrical failure. Thanks to your video it saved my battery from draining and saved me from paying the mechanics
Thank you!!!! My husband came home and told me my brake lights were on. His solution was disconnect the battery, mine was to fix it. Found your video and was instantly able to know exactly what was wrong. Found the broken piece on the floor and know what I need. In the mean time using a makeshift piece. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your video! Thank you.
Thank you so very much young man, you are so kind for posting this. I saw your video and asked my neighbor to please look at it. He saw the broken little part and went straight to it and fixed it. My car is a Honda accord 2005 almost 20 yrs old, I don’t want a new car just yet but every time something comes up I feel like, Ok it’s time. I’m relieved it’s nothing major and I can hold off a little longer. May God Bless you always💕
@@RBTheMechanicI have a 2002 Honda Accord (my 2nd car and my 18 yr old son is using it for work/school). It only has 166,000 miles and a TON of brand new stuff I did to it with my mechanic. Spent around $2000 to have it in great condition for my son to use when he starts college in the fall. He should be able to get at least another 100,000 miles out of it if he takes good care of it. So….This happened today.. the lights stayed on even with the car turned off. I noticed it 2 hours after he had driven it when I went to the store. I didn’t know what to do so I just disconnected the battery cable for now. 😂 Hopefully this is the issue and I can fix it easily (I’m a single mom) If I don’t find the piece broken I’ll have to call my mechanic that works on my cars to come look at it. 😊
Used a plastic spoon to temporarily use as a stopper. I know absolutely nothing about cars but it worked! My battery had already drained, bought a new one and am picking up a new stopper tomorrow morning from auto zone. Thank you so much!!
Dude your comment made me look at the floor and I found the piece too before the video was 10 seconds through! Big shoutout to the person who made the video and the comment above!
Your video was uploaded 3 yrs ago and just today, this happened to my subaru forester SH going home from work. I was about to remove both tail lights when I found your video!! I FOUND PIECES OF PLASTICS ON THE FLOOR! THANK YOU BROOOOO YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!
Exactly 💯 sane happened to my son's 2004 Hyundai Sonata. Piece was on the floor after a mechanic wanted 225 to fix. It took me 10 seconds and you saved me all that cash!
Jan 2023! Took a road trip and when I parked at home my break lights would not turn off. Disconnected the battery for the evening. I’m not mechanically included… but today I was researching. My top hit was to replace the break switch. Which I did to no help…. I was about to break down and just go to the dealership, but came across your video and fixed it with “duck tape and a nickel!” This was on a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe. Ordered the grommet online, but that won’t get here until mid week. Thank you immensely!!!
Man!! It’s late at night and I was fearful of a dead battery in the morning but placing the nickel there did the trick!!!!!! RUclips University is undefeated! THANK YOU
Had the same issue and your video saved me the trip + $$$ for the mechanic. The solution was a $2.5 spare part (plastic nail shaped part) from a local authorized distributor.
This video is a life saver! I have a 2013 Hyundai Accent and this was happened right as hurricane Milton is coming in. This is exactly what was wrong with my car, I couldn’t find the part but I could wedge something in there so my car didn’t die during the storm.
The Cruise Control went out on my 8 year old Hyundai Elantra then I notice the brake lights were stuck on. Thankfully I found your video and $1.03 out the door at the dealership fixed this issue. You definitely earned a like and subscribe!
YOU HAVE BEEN SOOO HELPFUL!!! found the plastic piece in four pieces on the floor...like you knew it would be there!!! took some measurements and found a floor clip fit the hole and it went in no problem...put the plastic screw and ready. THANKS FOR POSTING! save me some dough!😎
Nice job bro!! Yeah this is common issue had u found my video !! Don’t forget to subscribe I always put up a video to educate everyone and know how it’s done u never know when u need to check somthing
OMG! THANKS MAN! My car started doing this a few days ago so I've been disconnecting my battery so it doesn't drain it. I saw that plastic piece and was planning on throwing it away, LUCKILY I DIDN'T. Thanks again, I'll get to fixing it in a bit 👌
Use one of those magnet coin looking thing u can get it from Home Depot this plastic will brake again. I had to redue it I used nickle coin and gluded it other wise it’s called gromet for brake switch u can get it from autozone
bro you saved me from unnecessary expenses thank you so much I had my car 2nd hand and when I looked at it the rubber part is gone and there was a rubberband instead. I did a diy and looked for something that is able to press the switch! very helpful info
Thanks, you saved me a 2 hour round trip to fix this on my son’s accent. I shared with him your video and even though he’s not mechanical in any way by watching it he could understand what I was telling him to do to get the lights off till I can fix it. I had him put a piece of cardboard sandwiched between button and brake. He found the plastic piece that broke so if I can’t get the part at dealer or auto parts I’ll McGuiver it till I do. Thanks!
Oh nice job!!! Yeah I didn’t even use the plastic brake switch stopper I put in nickle coil and glued it and it’s still working good… also people used magnetic coin they sell at home depot that work well also
I’m going to try a small magnet to replace the plastic piece…. I believe the switch is still good because he said it did go off and on as he tried it..
I used the round magnet the size of a dime but a little thicker than a nickel. On top of that put electrical tape around the brake arm and magnet so it shouldn’t slip off. Seems to work well…. May be a permanent fix👍🏻
Yes same whenever I went to look in the floorboard to kind of look around. I seen it sitting in the floor and stumbled across this video. You're a lifesaver bro. Thank you
Looked out the window at 3 a.m like wtf is the brrak light doing on. Watched this and went out to check. Wasnt per say as yours but the screw was very loose. Tightened it up and its gold. Thanks my man. Was the same model just an "o5. Thanks again!!!!
Went out a bought a brand new battery.. about an hour later we noticed my break lights is on. We was confused because all light are off. Found this video and what do you know this video saved the day unfortunately we bought a battery we don't need. 🤦♀️🤦♀️ But hey thanks for the much needed information 😃
Legend!! I may have had to contort myself into the car like a Cirque Du Solel performer to get at the brake pedal... But as soon as I removed the casing the bits fell out and I knew you were a genius! Currently a key is holding the light off. I'll head off to the shop tomorrow to see about a replacement part. Thank you! 👏👏👏
My brother! Thank you! My sister's car did this after we came back home from getting dinner. It's late and dark and you just helped me fix it! Thank you!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You’re a bloody legend bro!! Found the broken parts on floor of drivers side this morning and super glued part back on till I get it fixed. Thanks brother!
Thanks man....saved me a bunch of time and money. The pinned post about using a magnet is perfect. It's a 20 year old car with 187K on it and I'm not looking to put money into it! Thanks!
That’s a very common problem, we had in total 7 Hyundais in our Family in the last 15 years, and they all had the same issue. Even my new Sonata had a disintegrated brake padel dampener after just 3 years. I 3D printed it using TPU and it works like a Charme
Thank you! Same situation happened in my 2013 Hyundai Elantra, I found the grommet pieces on my floor mat, $5 pack of replacements on Amazon vs what would’ve been a trip to the auto shop. Saved me!
Awesome quick fix! '95 Mercury Villager 260,000 mi. After watching your video saw the piece on the floor mat under the brake pedal. Stuck a rubber washer about the same thickness where it fell out and brake lights back to normal.
2:30 into the video and you have helped so much. Lil rubber bumper was sittin on the floor. Thank you for your content man, this is the HERO we all need
wow so simple ty for the peace of mind, I replaced my brake booster and the brake lights stayed on just like that. I need to adjust be brake pedal out more to reach the switch i just put some electrical tape until I can reprogram the idle and adjust that. Thank you very much 1996 land cruiser
Thanks a lot man for such a helpful , wonderful and guidance in simple language , I faced same problem with my Hyundai Xcent Car , I saw your video and simply removed the respective Fuse , This stopped Tail Brake Light from continuously being on. Further Car Mechanic will help to fix the problem 👍
I had the same thing on my 2005 Sonata, brake lights staying on. I noticed pieces of a broken grommet on the floor, figured it was connected somehow so when I watched this video and you mentioned the same thing, pieces on the floor, sure enough, that was the problem! Thanks for this, now I just have to do a replacement, hopefully just the broken grommet.
you have no bloody idea how much this helped me. its 10pm, cold and im dreading waking up to a dead battery and a call out fee. This solution fixed by problem! i just put a paper on that piston till morning lights off, battery good!
Thank this helped me as well !!! I did and temp fix to keep my battery from dying by whipping out some duct tape. Tore a 2ft or so length and ripped into 3 equal long lengths. Double one length over and over into a 1/4 inch square pad. Laid another strip over the square pad. Placed the pad over the spot where the brake switch grommet would go Then wrapped the strip laid over the pad around the brake notch so the pad would not easily fall off.
Ethan I had another job I used dime coil and silicon attaches it to the spit and put more silicon around it so it will never fall off worked like charm!
Was at work when someone told me my back lights were on, kind of panicked, and this video helped ASAP.. Found pieces on the carpet as well 💪🏼💪🏼😂 great video
Thanks for this very useful video. I checked and the little rubber thing was on the floor and thanks to you I could fix it and enjoy some peace of mind and not drain the battery.
Thanks. Watching this video I figured out that the rubber thing fell off and I put it back and it fixed my problem I was having with my break lights staying on. Thanks. I'll need to glue it back
Thanks RB The Mechanic. This was exactly the problem with my 96 Honda. The grommet feel out. I have an extra rubber piece and tape to keep it in place temporarily until I get it fix. I don't understand why some people gave you a thumbs down when you shared a solution to the problem. Take care Bro! 👍
This just happened to my car. I saw this little brown piece of plastic and a few other pieces laying on the floor and looked under the dash at the brake pedal and saw that button along with some gritty residue, probably from that broken plastic. I'm not a mechanic so I wasn't really able to put 2 and 2 together so here I am watching your video. Mine is designed differently, but the principle is the exact same. I'm sure that little piece of plastic is going to cost at least $20.00 if not more. Thanks for saving me a lot of time, money and wasted effort.
Lifesaver, my 89 Datsun d21dx Is a Japanese import, all the fuse marking are in Japanese! Between you and Google translate we saved me a flat battery in the morning. I appreciate you man, I did the like and subscribe and all that
Hey man. Thank you for this. You really help me alot. May I ask what is the name of the part you were mentioning in the video? So maybe I can order it online.
Honestly no idea some type of grommet for brake switch I used the same one but car came back few months later then I glued down nickle coin and it’s been good ever since
Thank you for saving me !!!Battery was dead didn't know why..After charging my son saw my lights on and got on line, found you and it was as you were with him walking him through it...Thanks again for your help !!!
thanks the video it really helpful it just happened to my son car today , and I found you video take me less then 5 minutes fixed after watching you video.
Just wanted to say thanks for making this video. Ir helped me alot identifying the issue. For other peeps who comes across this issue, I used a spare engine rubber tube, cut off a piece and just placed it where the spacer was. It fixed the issue lol. I'll probably leave that one there since it's thick and will probably last longer than the original break stoppers.
Had the same issue today. Found this video and then found that silicon disk broke half attached and half at the foot rest. Thanks for making this video.
Very helpful! Our 2006 sonata is having the same issue and we were gonna have to disconnect the battery when not in use but now we can just tape the button down temporarily :)
Nice job!!!! If u need to buy new one from dealer the part is called brake switch stopper should be like $10 but it would be fine just like that. Good job!!!
This is exactly the problem I had. Car battery completely dead. Then, luckily, noticed that my brake lights were on when the car was turned off. Upon closer inspection, I found the rubber/plastic bumper pad under the floor mat, it had sheared off at the nib that held it in place against the switch. Jimmy-rigged it back in and problem solved. 👍🏻
You’re a genius lmao. I watched this video and instantly found the piece broken in half on the ground. My in law thought I was a car expert lmaoo. I was like yep yep I knew it was the break switch ( as if I had any fucking clue) good content my friend. Thanks 😂😂
Glad u figured out this issue I used coin and tape it in place also magnetic coin work well it magnetizes right on and little bit tape will make it better
Thank you so much for sharing. You saved me time and money.i found a snap button in my car that fits perfectly on the brake pedal hole.your trouble shooting is direct to what I need.ill subscribe to you from now on.a big Thank you from Abu Dhabi.😊

There was a recall for this issue?

Look for brake light or brake pedal recall.
It's just a rubber grommet, that seems to wear out or break apart.

Cool yeah easy fix!!

Yeah bro glad u figured out the issue with this video!! Good job
Thanks brother just saved me another trip to the mechanic 😂
Thank bro. I had this issue this morning. Car battery was dead. Thank you so much for your assistance. God bless you.
Oh yeah battries dies over nights good find and quick fix!! I’m glad u found this video
Thank you for your help! I did it myself and it felt good! RUclips University teaches me everything!
Nice good job!!!!!
This is EXACTLY what just happened and your video helped me fix it!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing my man!!!!
Welcome!!!
@@RBTheMechanic You're a hero...KNOW THAT. Thank you...
@@charliecarter1878 thank you!!
Thank this helped me as well !!!
I did and temp fix to keep my battery from dying by whipping out some duct tape.
Tore a 2ft or so length and ripped into 3 equal long lengths.
Double one length over and over into a 1/4 inch square pad.
Laid another strip over the square pad.
Placed the pad over the spot where the brake switch grommet would go
Then wrapped the strip laid over the pad around the brake notch so the pad would not easily fall off.
Ethan I had another job I used dime coil and silicon attaches it to the spit and put more silicon around it so it will never fall off worked like charm!
Was at work when someone told me my back lights were on, kind of panicked, and this video helped ASAP.. Found pieces on the carpet as well 💪🏼💪🏼😂 great video
Excellent!
This helped so much couldn't figure it out for the longest. Thank u !
Cool good job finding it!!!
Thanks for this very useful video. I checked and the little rubber thing was on the floor and thanks to you I could fix it and enjoy some peace of mind and not drain the battery.
Yeah good job!!
Thank you. This was very helpful. You saved me a battery .
Facts! 🙌🏾
Thanks. Watching this video I figured out that the rubber thing fell off and I put it back and it fixed my problem I was having with my break lights staying on. Thanks. I'll need to glue it back
Use a nickle or coin to glue it or tape it on worked better the old piece is garbage now they usually brake up
Watched it like 5x to fix mine . Thank you so much !!!
No problem!!! As long as u got it done urself!!!
It happened to today night
I try to find a solution in RUclips and i fund the answers i did it..
You save my day ..
Good job!! Glad u found my video!!!
Thanks RB The Mechanic. This was exactly the problem with my 96 Honda. The grommet feel out. I have an extra rubber piece and tape to keep it in place temporarily until I get it fix. I don't understand why some people gave you a thumbs down when you shared a solution to the problem. Take care Bro! 👍
Yeah it’s cool I try my best to help everyone
The thumbs down were the crooked mechanics who would have charged you $500 for the fix.
@@hjmcgill yeah hater!
@@RBTheMechanic $8 fix
@@hjmcgill I’m la number one poquito 💩 I think 💭 will do the right one ☝🏽
Had this problem for over 3 months. Had no money for mechanic to look at car . Went on U tube and fixed in minutes 👍🤓
Nice job!!!!! Glad u search for this!!!
YOU ARE THE MAN! Probably saved me 100s! Good looking out!!!
Nice glad to help!! I just
Got honda in today no brake lights work guy can shift gears and vsc light come on I’m think bad brake switch
This just happened to my car. I saw this little brown piece of plastic and a few other pieces laying on the floor and looked under the dash at the brake pedal and saw that button along with some gritty residue, probably from that broken plastic. I'm not a mechanic so I wasn't really able to put 2 and 2 together so here I am watching your video. Mine is designed differently, but the principle is the exact same. I'm sure that little piece of plastic is going to cost at least $20.00 if not more. Thanks for saving me a lot of time, money and wasted effort.
Nice good discovery!! Easy fix
Thanks bro had the problem tonite. I thought i had to go to fix it.. 100% works
Nice job!!
Lifesaver, my 89 Datsun d21dx Is a Japanese import, all the fuse marking are in Japanese! Between you and Google translate we saved me a flat battery in the morning. I appreciate you man, I did the like and subscribe and all that
Good job!! I’m glad u found my video and figured this out!!!
i used a school eraser to fix it lol😂🤣
Cool nice job eraser!!! Lol anyways I had to redue this it out hole through the rubber so I used nickel coin
You are a saviour, man! It's 2 am, i fixed the problem using your video
Nice good job!!! Glad u was able to take care of this urself
Hey man. Thank you for this. You really help me alot. May I ask what is the name of the part you were mentioning in the video? So maybe I can order it online.
Honestly no idea some type of grommet for brake switch I used the same one but car came back few months later then I glued down nickle coin and it’s been good ever since
Brake Pedal Stopper
@@CJ-fh5xq Thanks CJ!!!!
Thank you for saving me !!!Battery was dead didn't know why..After charging my son saw my lights on and got on line, found you and it was as you were with him walking him through it...Thanks again for your help !!!
Nice!!! Yes I defiantly was with u!!!! Always here to help!!! Glad u found my video and saved a headache from battery draw test or alternator change
Thank you soo much. That's my exact same car, with exact same problem...i fixed it with crazy glue.
Same here but I have a 2013 sonata
thanks the video it really helpful it just happened to my son car today , and I found you video take me less then 5 minutes fixed after watching you video.
Good job!!! Easy diy fix !!!! Awsem!!!!
Helped me out. The piece was on the mat so I put it back in. Will have to get to a mechanic but this was a great temporary save.
Do it urself u use use dime or Nicole coin silicon it to the peddle and it will be there forever
@@RBTheMechanic thanks for the tip. I will try.
Just wanted to say thanks for making this video. Ir helped me alot identifying the issue. For other peeps who comes across this issue, I used a spare engine rubber tube, cut off a piece and just placed it where the spacer was. It fixed the issue lol. I'll probably leave that one there since it's thick and will probably last longer than the original break stoppers.
Glad u found my video
Had the same issue today and solved it, thanks to you brother
Glad I could help
Thank heaven I found this video! I was able to do a temp fix with a button and some electrical tape until I could get the part.
Glad u found the video the part u need is called brake switch stopper or brake switch gromet. Order origins from dealer
Saved me today, bro!! Thanks a bunch!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Hack. Pull up the brake pedal. Lights will go off.
Nope, this doesn't work
@@michaelj.anderson1116 it did for me for weeks til I got it fixed
Had the same issue today. Found this video and then found that silicon disk broke half attached and half at the foot rest. Thanks for making this video.
Nice good job!! Glad u found my video
Very helpful! Our 2006 sonata is having the same issue and we were gonna have to disconnect the battery when not in use but now we can just tape the button down temporarily :)
Thank you so much for this video!! You saved me ❤️
No problem glad the video was a help!!!
You are a life saver. Cardboard and scotch tape worked like a charm.
That will give up and out hole through use nickle or dime coin that works good
GET TO THE POINT!!
Really! He does @ 1:37! How much faster do you want him to be? Did you thank him?
❤
I just found it on my car floor!!! Gorilla glued it back where it belongs! Thank you so much for your help!!
Nice job!!!! If u need to buy new one from dealer the part is called brake switch stopper should be like $10 but it would be fine just like that. Good job!!!
I appreciate it , I was tripping out I got a Infiniti G35 and had the same problem
I have the same problem with my G35.
@@cbreezy2091 I went to auto zone got me the little plastic thing to hold that white button , worked again
@@josephtocozy608 The plastic piece was still there and my brakes still won't go out.
Thanks - found the rubber disc on the floor just like you said. popped it back into place and... Boom...Boom... Out go the lights! (Pat Travers)
Nice job glad u located the issue
This is exactly the problem I had. Car battery completely dead. Then, luckily, noticed that my brake lights were on when the car was turned off. Upon closer inspection, I found the rubber/plastic bumper pad under the floor mat, it had sheared off at the nib that held it in place against the switch. Jimmy-rigged it back in and problem solved. 👍🏻
Nice job!
My girlfriend’s car had the same issue. Your video was a life save thanks
Nice job!!
You’re a genius lmao. I watched this video and instantly found the piece broken in half on the ground. My in law thought I was a car expert lmaoo. I was like yep yep I knew it was the break switch ( as if I had any fucking clue) good content my friend. Thanks 😂😂
Well u did good finding the issue good job magnetic coin work well from homedepot $5
