You are a "god send" sir. On vacation, girlfriend found your channel, after I noticed our lights still on, after coming out from the grocery store. Thankfully we went shopping, probably wouldn't have noticed, otherwise. She decided to look it up, thankfully. 😅 Got it jerryrigged, for the night, too try to make it to the store, in the morning. ALL before the eclipse, tomorrow, would've sucked, to have been stranded, on vacation. You're a life saver, I hope that you are doing well, since having made this video. Thank you! 😊

This video saved me a trip to the dealership, thank you! Here's some extra tips: The bolt and nut you want is a M5, available at your nearest big box store in the screw aisle, probably in a drawer for metric sizes. Don't get too long of a bolt or you'll have trouble threading it through the brake pedal hole... ideally 1/2 inch or thereabouts. The car will need to be running when you attempt this so the brake pedal can be pushed in far enough to make the hole accessible. Also, if you have to park your car overnight in this condition before you can attempt the fix, you can pull the 15 amp fuse labeled "STOP LAMP" inside the engine compartment to force the brake lights off.

YES! I watched your video and sure enough that was my problem. As my boyfriend took it out it broke completely. He put your temporary fix in right as I found the extended warranty recall notice in my glove box for this exact issue. 2012-2014 should be able to get this replaced this for free. I can for sure with the papers I kept, but worth looking into for others.

My brake lights stay on, but it's because the brake does not come up to it's original position. I have to lift up on the brake with my toe to bring it home. Then the brake light goes off. Thoughts?
@BrokenWrenches

if you have resistance bringing the pedal all the way up you may have a problem developing in the master cylinder/booster assembly. could also be in desperate need of a brake job. a combination of hydraulic back pressure and engine vacuum in the booster is what is primarily responsible for pushing the pedal back up. a super easy fix is putting a low tension spring somewhere on the pedal under the dash to keep slight rear/up pressure on the pedal.

Also, if you don't have a properly-sized bolt-head screw and nut on hand, you can just super glue two pennies together, then super glue them to the top of the metal piece that the rubber pad used to go through. They're about the same height/width as the original pad.

There are several problems with this for a permanent fix. One is the metal will quickly wear on the brake light switch pin. Then you'll have to replace the whole switch. Second, is with no give in the limiter pad, the switch will not activate till the pedal is depressed some distance. The brake lights should light up at the least touch of the brake. That is why they made the limiter of flexible material in the first place. Still, this workaround is a good stop gap until you can replace the limiter pad. They are so cheap you have to buy a dozen; but it's only about 5 bucks.
