brake pedal - Cherokee Sport 2001

Seasons greetings all, I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport with close to 70k on it.

I've notice a slight "click" when I pump down on the break pedal recently.

No noticeable difference in the brake handling - just a click when pressing down on the brake pedal.

Any suggestions?

Thank you. Eddy

Brake Light switch?

Thanks for the reply but the brake light is off on the dashboard.

It's just a "click" when I press down on the brake pedal - about when I push about half way down - there's a slight click.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Happy holidays to all, Eddy

THE switch for the brake lights - not the dash light for the parking brake (or service brake failure)

Good idea.

I checked.

The brake lights are fine when I depress the brake pedal but I still hear a click.

Any other suggestions would be helpful.

Happy holidays, Eddy

Does the click come from the switch?

I'm not sure where it comes from.

All I know is that when I step on the brake pedal all the way down - mid-way I hear a click.

Best... Eddy

Put your head down by the pedal and actuate it with your hand. Listen and feel for a click from the switch.

Could be the switch is getting sticky....

I have heard of a few failures of the newer switches.

Like Billy Ray said, I would get my head right down there for a listen and maybe have someone out back to see if the click and the lights happen at the same time.

Better way of checking. try this at night.

Jump in the car.. when it clicks, do the lights come on at the exact same time as the click? :P
