Brake lights ON?

[GSRteg®]

Well after trying to start my hatch after 2 weeks in storage it would not crank... of course I thought to my self its the battery, gave it a jump and started up without a problem. Now I didn't think twice about it till I saw the brake light on. Well I then I thought to my self I must have left the lights on when I stored it...? Went to turn the switch of and to my surprise it was already off. Well now what could the problem they stay on even with the car off and the key out the switch...? Anyone with the knowledge of this happening to them please advise thanks.

Look on the Brake pedal there is a little rubber stopper that is used to compress the stop light switch...It might have broke off.If so put a bolt an a nut an will fix the problem! Or the stop light switch needs adjusting!!! very easy losen the nut an spin in or out where the switch is off when pedal is up, an on when you mash down the pedal 1/4 ' an your good!!!

Look under the dash , yes it is a pain look up at the Brake pedal an you will see the switch where the Pintal of the switch is look on the pedal an its where the petal an the pedal touches...Throw the rubber peice away, there is a hole, get a 10mm bolt an nut, insert it in an your done, might have to adjust the switch though
