Thank you soo much!!! No ideas why they didn’t add a bolt and nut instead, not like it’s the easiest to get to 🙄🙄🙄, might as well make it more permanent. At least the button looking type thing on my floorboard confirmed what was missing….

Same thing just happened in my 03 Xterra. I ordered two stoppers (2/$4 on Amazon). Removed the fuse, started car, and holding down the brake pedal with my left hand centered and pressed the plug into the switch pin with my right hand, then gently released brake to pop the plug into place. It was easier doing it this way than trying to press the stopper into the hole because it's so small I kept dropping it before I could press it in. I did this for both the cruise control and the brake light switch pins/ stoppers. If you're not removing the dash, it has to mostly be done "by feel." Thanks for this helpful video!

Many Nissan dealers keep the pedal stop pad (which is what the part is called) in stock. Dorman HELP! parts used to have them, as well, but I'm not sure if they still do? In a bind, you have to so what you need to do, but I would rather just use the correct part than rigging something up. Those pads will usually last well over 100,000 miles. I just replaced the original on my 03 Frontier and it has 230,000 miles on it.

Agreed. I'm all for OEM parts, but don't understand why its plastic or why there is even a hole there. What purpose does that serve to make it so it falls apart? The button will always need to contact something in order to work. 🤔

It has a nut on both sides of it that holds it in place. One is to adjust the distance from the brake stop and the other is to tighten against the other screw. Hope that makes sense. You obviously need to unplug the switch when you remove it.

I was going to add a bolt also thinking that would be better than a plastic plug. I did order the replacement plug but now noticed that there are 2 switches on the brake pedal. There is no plug in the hole for the 2nd switch either. I can't seem to figure out what the other switch is for. I goggled it and came across your video which is by far the best of the 3 videos google pulled up. One switch & plug shuts the brake lights off, the other one???? Any ideas on that? Thx, Rick

Not sure it's a good idea to be adding bolts where none existed...to do what ? You didn't really mention what that intention was. If the switch tested electrically good when you pulled it out and pushed the spring-loaded button, then the spring inside the switch is probably getting weaker, meaning time to mechanically adjust the position in or out of the whole switch in the brake pedal assembly, by adjusting the big nut that threads the switch into the brake pedal....wouldn't even need to remove or unplug anything...just adjust the nut til the brake light goes out.... But thanks for the video...I'm having the same issue just today....so this should save a little sweat out in this 90° summer sun ! 😱

Thanks for the good feedback Jeff. Actually, the original stoppers are plastic/rubber and they totally disintegrated which is why I found an alternate solution to fill the hole.

@@dmalott0908 ...thanks for your feedback too ! 🙂...it wasn't clear that there were rubber or nylon "stoppers" (another vid called them grommets) that the switch buttons push against...now I understand your bolt idea. This design hasn't changed in probably 75 years...every car I've ever seen had that little plate on the top end of the brake pedal pushing on the switch... ...but what HAS changed is Nissan putting holes in that plate and putting those "stoppers" in the holes for the button to contact...WHY ? Every pedal assembly I've had to do this to was just a solid steel plate that switch pushed on, I wonder why Nissan thought it necessary to add holes and stoppers, it just needlessly adds another variable and another piece to break and replace. 🙄 I haven't gotten under there and looked yet, but I wonder if another option besides adding bolts or finding stoppers is just to cut a piece of sheet aluminum or nylon, etc the same size as that plate, pull out the stoppers if still there so that it's just s flat plate with holes, and attach the added plate by wrapping with electrical tape around the whole plate assembly ?...maybe more work than just replacing the stoppers I guess...but would put the design back to that 75 year old, unbreakable "solid" contact plate with no holes ?

Thank you AGAIN!!! Used your trick to remove the nuts (I taped a rare earth magnet to the tool to catch the nuts). Since then I pulled the bolts UP through the holes (after reeming them wider)using tape/wire/fishing line and have welded the bolts in place while using a magnet and a needle nose vice grip to hold in place. Cleaned up the welds, chamfered the bottom of the mount's holes, and installed. Time for the new motor to drop in!
