so, out of no where, i walk out side to my garage and i see my rear lights and brake light on... so i thought i left my lights on, but i did and i cant seem to get it to go off... any ideas guys?!?! help??

 

where the pedal and the sensor hit isn't touching anymore. There was a small piece of rubber that it would touch. Happened to me once.

Check up underneath the dash where the pedals are and you'll understand

 

^^^ Indeed... brake light switch.

 

will this one work from autozone?

i just got my brake light switch off and the orange rubber thigny is crack and fallen apart, so imma go get a new one tomorrow, but this one from autozone doesnt have that rubber part, i know after market isnt gonna be the same, just asking..
thanks

 

i was just thinking if it doesnt have that rubber part anymore, cant i just screw it 1/4 inch more inner so its push when it touches the brake peddle, so then its push in. adn when i push the brakes it will let off. and then it will light up

well just a though

 

you just need it to touch something (pressed in when not braking)
I put a sticky piece of rubber to cover the hole the orange thing was and the switch touches that and works just fine

 

thats what i fuger. but new one is only 15 bucks, that one should work fine rite?

 

i took a penny and electrical tape to remake the rubber stopper...

 

smart, i was just gonna take ele tape and taping it in circle till it gets thick enough, lol... or take a nut and tape it or something.

 

I just took a nut and bolt I had laying around in the garage and adjusted it to work. Same thing with the cruise control on the clutch pedal.

 

Hey!!!!!!!!!!

That's MY mod! You stole my idea!



Rod.

 

i just finish it today and finally drove it. its been a month or two, but i just did what duckez did and put in a bolt and nut and adjust the switch and wa la! its done.. haha

 

I had the same problem with my 280zxturbo the little rubber bumper on my brake pedal crumbeled away i went to the junk yard and looked for used rubber peaces thank god i found 3 of them i paid only 25 cents each i put one new one on my clutch and 2 of them on my brake i dont think my gas pedtal needs one i only belive the automaic tranny 280zx had a kick down switch on the gas pedtal. Correct me if im wrong . nismo619 in da house ! LOL

 

You can get new rubber stoppers at a nissan dealer, less than two bucks a piece.

 

Wow, almost a three year old thread. lol

 

nut and bolt. this is the most common mod used to fix this issue on both the S-Series and the Z31 series.
