This explains so much for me, after replacing my break light switch it also solved the issue I had with my traction control turning on by its self

[stacyakel]

Hi my car is better in the shop twice and everything that you just showed on that video from about shifting from Park is exactly what my car is doing and what was done to it. It's sad that there are mechanics out there that will fix one tiny thing wait for you to break down to fix the next thing that caused it to begin with. Can't trust anyone it's really sad. Thank you for your help

What if my only symptom is not being able to shift out of park? I always manage to eventually get it out of park, but how much brake I need to apply always changes. Sometimes it's all way down, sometimes it's barely any brake at all. I've learned to just listen for the click of when it activates.

What about the VDC? ABS? It also controls the TCM by disconnecting the clutch durning the engine/transmission/drive line

[LenaP]

Does it stay stuck in park every time or once in awhile ? My truck started doing that and now the brake lights went out. Already changed fuse and checked bulbs.

Traction Disabled means?? I get that message on my Deville too.

Great compilation! However, you still missed one symptom. The park lock solenoid can go crazy and click hysterically or the lever can be constantly unlocked. I have experienced both! It took me a while to figure it out, if you have trouble with your gearbox, the brake light switch isn't the first thing you think of.

This is exactly the problem that I'm having, and the fix looks great...but it would be nice if you'd included how you got the bolt into that space! I'm thinking I'll have to remove the brake pedal or the switch, because there definitely isn't enough space to get it in there without moving something else...

Are brake light switches prone to braking or being faulty?

I just replaced the switch, and it failed again!

[superengine]

Best video for brake light switch issues. I appreciate.❤

[richardhill]

With all of those symptoms, is a hard brake pedal a symptom as well ??. Great video bye the way.

[terrywatt]

Nice video. What scanner did you use to detect the codes P0504, P0571, P0752. --Nevermind

[scoobs]

My indicators are turning on when I brake? Could this be a brake switch? Not working cruise control too.

My tail lights stay on but get brighter when i press the brake pedal .
Could this be a bad switch or soemthing else ?

[markellrobinson]

Thanks for the video helped a lot been trying to figure out why the hell my brake lights not working now I know why ordering the relay tomorrow

[magnoliaquint]

Well what if I have replaced brake switch and stop fuse and the brake lights still aren't working ?

[umarkedreturn]

You sound very similar to Chisfix, the other youtuber. Same cadence in your voice, tone, and delivery. Well, if you can't beat them, join them!

[meatwagon]

Do all this go for the standard shift cars

[donwilliams]

Would my 3rd brake light on top of the lift gate still work if the switch is bad?
