Stifun Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 My Rear Brake Lights remain ON even when I take the Key's out. Also my ABS dash is also on Help what is going On. Checked the fuses and they are fine not blown at all. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Your brake light switch's rubber bumper disintegrated. You'll probably find it on the floor mat somewhere. You need a new one, buy one from the dealer. Perform preliminary inspection and run the ABS self-diagnosis following the instructions on page BR-34 of the factory service manual. Have you ever flushed the brake fluid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifun Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Just did a full brake job new OEM Disc and new pads and rear drums are fine. Also how does this light switch rubber bumper look like thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 looks like a lifesaver, depending on howold it is may be light a light beige color, the new one's I bought from Nissan were a florescent green color. The bumper is also found on the clutch pedal and two on the brake pedal one for the cruise control one for the brake lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifun Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 But mine is an Auto and is it located behind the brake pedal just trying to figure it out. So is this rubber thing easy to change out or is it something a mechanic has to do. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The bumper just pushes in, takes maybe 3 minutes to replace. Most of that time will be maneuvering your head to where you can see the brake light switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifun Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Towncivilian Could you maybe find a diagram on how to change out or maybe a more specific description. Sorry not very mechanically inclined but want to try and fix this myself. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Look at page BR-6 of the factory service manual. At the stop lamp switch, there is supposed to be a small rubber bumper. There is a small hole the bumper will just snap in to, the bumper has a groove. All you have to do is push it in. The rubber bumper will look something like the one found on this page, but as ahardb0dy said above it might be black in color. The cruise cancel switch also uses the same bumper. Check your brake pedal to make sure that one isn't missing one either. If you still can't find it, I'll take a picture of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really appreciate the help to a novice like myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) The rubber bumper lines up with a switch, so if you look under there and see a push button looking switch and directly across from the push button there is a hole, than that is where the bumper goes, just press it in the hole, takes 2 seconds. you can kind of see where it goes in this pic: http://homeandauto.ldsdates.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/brakelightswitch1.JPG Edited September 20, 2013 by ahardb0dy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I just took a pic of the rubber stompers that are installed on my 94 pathfinder, I have the phone resting on the brake pedal so you can get an idea of where this is, the metal tube is the steering column, and the black metal piece is the brake pedal lever: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelord Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 If you cant get any soonish. Then super gluing two pennies together then onto the pedal assembly works too. Thats how both of mine are currently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I wasn't upside down actually, just leaned on the floor and pressed the brake pedal so the bumpers could be see, I do need to check the left switch, as it doesn't appear there is a nut on the top of it. Those green bumpers are what Nissan sent me when I ordered them few years ago, don't know what color they are using now, but these seem like they are a better material than the ones that fell out.
