(I changed a switch under there several years ago, but I'm thinking it was on the clutch.)

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Guy pulled up next to me at a light today and told me my brake lights weren't working. Went home and closed garage door behind me to check their reflection. He was right, but only when I fully apply the pedal. A light touch however and they work fine. I suspect the brake pedal switch, but haven't even crawled under there to check. (I changed a switch under there several years ago, but I'm thinking it was on the clutch.) Tight fit for me under there! Problem sound familiar to anyone?

POST 2Original post

Probably the switch. Resistance test it through it's full range of motion, or just go ahead and replace it.

POST 3Original post

I'll go out on a limb and say it's definitely the switch since pressing the pedal harder results in the lights coming on...
