Got an annoying problem with my brake lights.

It seems that the switch is nearly dead and the brake lights are staying on after I exit the car. I was able to give it a quick tap and they would turn off but it seems now that they are coming back on on there own accord as when I went to start the car tonight to come to work I had a nice dead battery.

My question is will any auto electricin be able to replace the switch or do I need to source one from some where first?

About how much would I expect to pay?

Thanks in advance Josh

Auto elec will fix it.

Cost all depends $20 - $80 ??????

it will be the rubber bung that the stop light switch presses on. they perish and break away, then the switch stays out and on all the time. its a bit of a bugger to repair, unless you like standing on your head for half an hour!

Went an bought a new switch from Nissan today. Went round to the mechanic to get him to replace it cause I didn't trust myself, but he was out on a test drive so while I was waiting just thought I'd give it a go.

Was VERY easy to replace just unscrew and unclip the wires, but it hasn't quite fixed the problem :-( Seems like the pedal moves around slightly which is meaning sometimes its in the wright spot sometimes not.

I'll have to see if theres a way of tightening the pedal up so I can fix it properly when I next get a spare few minutes
