alrite for some reason my brake lights wont go off today...i tried disconnecting the battery for like 20 minutes,but NOTHING!...i turn off the car and the lights stay on, hasnt happended before..also when i hit the brakes they dnt go off and on just stay lit...not sure what it can be....if anyones got any ideas let me know please..i really dotn feel like unplugging the battery everytime i gotta stop somewhere..

 

Stoplight switch grommet broke.Look by the brake pedal.

 

There is a little switch that turns the lights on that is depressed when you step on the brake pedal. It is either broken or mis aligned with your brake pedal more than likely

 

oki did notice a little rubbery round circle by the floor ...could that be it? bluish in color?

 

bam you got it.Now good luck finding one at advance or autozone or something similar to work.

 

cant use the same one again , i think it had like some rubbery glue on the inside of it..

 

A penny and some duck tape will work until you find one. But good luck, I never found one for my old eclipse. You might could score one at a junk yard for free if you get it yourself.

 

good looking out on all the advice so far ppl. ok yea i found the little grommet looking piece i just was outside looking around the brake to try and see if i can find exactly where the piece goes cause honestly i never even really looked down there...

 

^^ so you still got that pennny and duck tape on yours...does this piece go where a hole and a pin meet up

 

Nah, I gotta new eclipse now.

If you follow the brake pedal up to the bottom of the dash, you'll see a hole in the pedal, that meets up with a small button on the switch, you just want to cover that hole with a penny or something similar.

switch is similar to this, you just need to make sure that when you're not hitting the brake, the button stays pushed in on the switch.
