This video is a 10/10. Internet hall of fame. Thank you my man for saving who knows how much headache and money at the dealership. My 2015 F-250 had this exact problem. A magnet sacrificed from the kitchen fridge saved the day, and my batteries!

That was totally the issue. Why in the world did the engineers design something this ridiculous, and a little plastic stopper would cause this much headache. Thanks again, Marlon.

Looked, and yep - there's that little plastic button in the floorboard. A trip to Home Depot and 3 min in the parking lot and boom - problem solved. Worst part about it was trying to pretzel myself up to get in the floorboard to do it! Thank you so, so much for sharing!!!!!

DUDE ! You are a freaking genius ! After my little plastic piece had broken off not only did the brake lights stay on but it would not accelerate at freeway speeds because it thought the brakes were on . Wouldn’t let cruise control work either . I was thinking I would have to do all sorts of work in it but this simple fix for about $10 bucks solved ALL the problems !!! Thank You !!!

@@kahlebadams1744I have the same issue, mine is constantly on when I start it, but will intermittently go off for no reason, drive another 50 miles they’ll come back on. My ford mechanic thinks it’s a wire they possibly got chewed by a mouse or rubbed just enough to throw this. He said the controller (not sure the name) is under the console and a pain to switch. I asked if he could he just disable the hill descent/ABS, he said that was a bridge too far as ford sees everything he does with his cpu. Oh well, when it pops on, I just hit ok twice and keep driving, 190,000 miles so it’ll do

I was about to buy a brake light switch until I saw your video. I solved my issue a little differently by using a small "plastic panel push pin" instead of the magnet. Nonetheless, you got me headed in the right direction, thanks.

Took me a bit to see where you were referring too, but I found the little half a piece of plastic on my floorboard, couldn’t find a magnet, so I got a little plastic washer the size of the one that fell off, super glue and bam! Brakes lights went off, now, I have read the blue switch is a safety switch and could affect the performance of your vehicle. Mine bogged down like it lost power so I guess I’ll eventually have to replace the blue part, but it’s like $60 so we will let it ride for now. Excellent idea, Screw the stealership as they want $300 to fix it. .05 cent washer and $2 super glue and seems good to go. Thank you kind sir

I did it and it worked perfectly. It is difficult to get under the dash and the magnet wants to wonder. The first magnet was not thick enough so I went one thicker that had a hole for a screw. I positioned the small side to the plunger and it worked fine. I think I'm going to oil the plunger and maybe it will keep working. Seems like a great hack to save $100+ in service fees from the shop. Thanks for sharing.

Issue was brake switch would not fully depress so truck couldnt tell if brakes were “off/on”. Put $3 magnet in there and fixed the issue. Unbelievable, seemed like the whole truck had a transmission problem but its something stupid like this!
