'84 Caprice brake lights stay onbobss396 08-15-2007, 06:55 AM This happens once in a while and I have to check it every time I park the car. My brake lights stay on! If I play with the pedal, lift it with my toe and don't slam the door too hard, I can get them to stay off. Is this an adjustment or is the switch bad, how accessible is it? I have about an hour or so tomorrow after work to mess with it. Thanks, Bob silicon212 08-15-2007, 11:40 AM This happens once in a while and I have to check it every time I park the car.

Just readjust the position of the brake switch, under the dash. It's easy to get to. Move the switch a little closer to the brake pedal arm. bobss396 08-15-2007, 12:56 PM Thanks, I'll try that first. bobss396 08-16-2007, 02:52 PM I cracked a 40 of OE last night and gave it a look see. I saw what you meant about adjusting the switch so the plunger was closer to the pedal arm. Since I was in no mood in turning upside down under the dash, I happened to have a ty-rap in my ash tray. I wrapped it around the pedal where it meets the plunger, made sure it was tight, problem solved! Again, silicon saves the day. Bob vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
