Nissan Repair: 1988 Nisson Pathfinder Brake Lights, brake light switch, nisson


Question
I have a 1988 Nisson Pathfinder with brake lights that seem to keep geting stuck.  The only way to turn them off is to take the fuse off and let it sit for a bit.  Once the fuse is put back in it seems to be fine for a while. Then once again the problem starts.  What could it be?  

Answer
Rose,

Change the brake light switch on the brake pedal arm.  Go down to the parts store and ask for a new brake liight switch for your Pathfinder and look up under the dash where the brake pedal arm goes and you will see the switch.  You will need to unplug the wires to your old one and disconnect it and install the new one the same way.  It is pretty much self adjusting once the brake pedal is released.  If the brake light does not go out adjust the switch pin to be longer so it will depress when the pedal is released.
