1. Check the Brake Light Switch:
- Locate the brake light switch, which is usually situated near the brake pedal.
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the switch.
- Press the brake pedal and see if the lights turn off. If they do, the switch may be faulty and need replacement.
2. Inspect the Brake Pedal Assembly:

3. Examine the Wiring:
- Inspect the wiring harness connected to the brake light switch and the brake lights for any damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
4. Test the Brake Lights:
- Use a multimeter to test the continuity of the wiring and the brake light bulbs to ensure they are functioning correctly.
5. Replace the Brake Light Switch:
- If the brake light switch is confirmed to be faulty, you will need to replace it.
- Disconnect the battery before attempting this repair.
- Unscrew the old switch, remove the electrical connector, and install the new switch in its place.
- Reconnect the electrical connector and the battery.
6. Check the Fuse Box:
- If the brake lights are still not functioning correctly after replacing the switch, check the fuse box for any blown fuses related to the brake lights.
7. Seek Professional Help:
- If the problem persists or if you are unsure about performing any of the above steps, it is recommended to consult with a qualified mechanic or auto electrician.
Remember to take safety precautions when working on electrical components and disconnect the battery before performing any repairs.
