Tell me about my Brake Light Switch Replacement

The brake light switch is a small but essential part of your vehicle’s braking system. It sits near the brake pedal and activates your brake lights when you press the pedal, warning other drivers that you are slowing down. If the switch fails, your brake lights may stop working, which is both unsafe and illegal.

What is a brake light switch replacement?

This service involves removing the faulty brake light switch and fitting a new one. The switch is usually located near the brake pedal arm and is connected to the vehicle’s electrical system.

Why do you need a brake light switch replacement?

A faulty brake light switch means your brake lights may not turn on, making it dangerous for vehicles behind you. In many cases, it will also trigger a warning light on the dashboard. Replacing the switch restores safe and legal operation of your brake lights.

Common signs you need a brake light switch replacement

  • Brake lights do not illuminate when pressing the pedal
  • Brake lights stay on constantly
  • ABS or traction control warning lights on the dashboard
  • Gear selector stuck in “Park” (in automatic vehicles)

What happens during a brake light switch replacement?

A mechanic will:

  1. Test the brake light switch and wiring
  2. Disconnect the faulty switch from the brake pedal assembly
  3. Install and adjust a new brake light switch
  4. Check brake light operation and confirm correct function

How much does a brake light switch replacement cost?

Replacing a brake light switch usually costs between $120–$250, depending on the vehicle make and model.

Is it unsafe to drive with a faulty brake light switch?
