Hi all.
Recently bought this vehicle. Overall fairly happy with it; but the brake light drives me nutts in the dark!
When the brake is applied the lights come on almost immediately, as they should.
But, say when the brake is all the way down, and I let it go for as little as a milimeter, the light goes out. If this is done repeatedly, such as when driving at low speed in a traffic jam, the result is that the brake lights flicker like hell.
I'd prefer the light to go off only when the pedal reaches the fully released position, or almost.
In previous cars I've owned this kind of adjustment was easy to do, by bending the brake switch mount a bit.
The brake switch in this vehicle however seems to have a mind of its own. Why is it that the on/off position isn't the same (such as you would expect in a regular switch). Is there some kind of (electronic) logic involved?
Also, I've had to follow my own car a couple of times, and it's no fun looking at those flickering lights: you just don't know if the car is stopping, or going forward! And I assume many other drivers think the same; so for safety's sake I'd like to "fix" this brake light behavior.
Anyway, if there is a simple way to adjust this thing so that the light stays on longer then I'd really like to hear it.
Thanks in advance,
Erik
