del Sol brake lights stuck on

Oct 27, 2010 5 Replies

Recently my 93 del Sol decided the brake lights need to stay on all the time, even with the engine off. Anyone know how that could happen and how o fix it?


could be the brake light switch. more likely to be the plastic tab on the pedal that presses against that switch though. they're a kind of plug mounted in a hole that tends to break and drop through leaving nothing pressing on the switch actuator. cost a couple of bucks.

Have a look under the dash, at the brake light switch. The switch rests against a little plastic button. That button has broken apart or fallen off. You get a new one for a few bucks at the dealer.

I had the same "plug" problem with my 94 Integra GS-R. The OP may have found some bits of unidentified crumbled plastic on his floor mats;that was the old plug.

yup, that's the dead give-away!
