Solving Brake Light Switch Problems, 93 Acura Integra

http://www.ericthecarguy.com/

Yes my brother's car is back and this time the battery is going dead overnight. He discovered that the brake lights weren't going off and draining the battery so I suggested he look at the brake light switch operation, he took that as he needed to replace the brake light switch and it obviously didn't work. The video shows the real problem and the fix. Enjoy

Stay dirty

great video. but i have a question in my integra i just cant seem to find this connector for the brake switch. were does it come from? and i dont see any wire harness cuts or anything like that at all. But now that i think of it shouldnt my brake lights also be on constantly? because their not

@livelife2015 You might want to watch the video again as you may not be looking in the right place, the switch and it's connector should be located above the brake pedal itself as in this video.

i have the exact problem. except the little rubber piece was on the ground next to the car, and i had a clutch switch. im on the hunt for a small bolt and nut.

ive got 2 questions for you, 1st is... would this replacement be the same in a 92 suzuki swift. the 2nd is.... my problem is the exact opposite, i hit the brakes and i get no brake light unless i hit the brakes fairly hard, do u think it is the switch that needs to be replaced

[tqadir007]

hey eric. me and you think alike. i would ahve done the same thing and i was about to make a comment just put a 10mm bolt and nut on it lol. I too work on alot of hondas. but for myself i do somewhat high performance motors. by that i mean a stock d16 making 3x the power it makes from the factory. I love your videos man. where is your shop located by the way
