Brake Lights Stuck On

[HR31DRFT]

Hey guys, i did a lil search but couldnt find much on this...

Anyway...

I shifted my car recently, and went to start it last night and my brake lights are on constantly.

The front indicators are off the car, cos the front bar is off.

I did try and reconnect the indicator lights but it didnt seem to turn the brake lights off.

I have tried...

Pushing the pedal down, no change.

Checking all fuses, all good.

Put front indicators back on, no change.

Head lights work.

I'm thinkin the switch/module thing on top of the pedal might be gone...

What you reckon guys, please help this is doing my head in...

look on the carpet near the pedals you should see a small plastic peice broken into peices.

this is pretty common, you just replace it with the green jeallybean part from nissan

costs like less then 4 bucks i think. and takes one minute to install. for now just unplug the harness so the lights dont stay on

it will be - Nissan love to put a hole in the steel part of the brake pedal that operates the brake switch, then fill the hole with a piece of plastic that breaks after 20 years. They;ve been doing it since the 70s at least in the old Dattos I've had.

the temporary fix to get you home with brake lights working is a coin taped on over the hole. You can fill cover the hold with anything you like and adjust the switch height - doesn't have to be the genuine nissan part. I've filled them with fibreglass or a bolt before. I think my Patrol still has the 10c coin and racetape there a year or more later. lol

howd u go? if its not broken it may just need adjusting, if so loosen the nut and back it off the pedal a little.
