Brake pedal problem ,please help!!

Post by RS_GT »

Ok guys wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problem, or know a fix

my brakes work fine however when i take my foot of the pedal it doesnt spring up all the way meaning the brake lights stay on! when the brake pedal is depressed i have to pull it towards me so there is no contact with the switch. however it only pulls towards me by about 3-4mm so is the switch too far forward, or is there another solution? any help would be appreciated as im currently having to change the fuse everytime i get in the car

cheers Alex, just managed to sort it out, just removed the switch and wiring connector, reattached it following the Haynes instructions and made sure everything was tight.

another problem..sorted! :D
