I thought nothing of it until I had to remove the key from my car. Car was dead, and so I jump started it. Found out my plastic stopper on the brake pedal broke off causing my brake lights to remain on (which was the thing that hit my foot). Anyone know a good replacement? I was thinking a bolt and nut, but the head might be too thick. Any ideas? 10-11-2009, 06:44 AMHonda-Tech Member

No more problems with plastic pieces breaking, problem solved. 07-27-2012, 12:27 PM

The broken rubber switch cushion had an indentation from the brake light switch. If this switch cushion were metal, I imagine the indentation would be in the brake light switch. Brake light switches are more expensive to replace than switch cushions, both in terms of the parts cost and labor involved. Replacing the switch cushion involved starting the engine, pressing on the brake pedal with my left hand and pressing the switch cushion into place - in the notch provided - with my right hand in the 3/4" gap opened up between the switch cushion holder and the brake light switch. I don't even want to think about the amount of work involved in replacing the brake light switch. 05-19-2021, 05:48 PMTrial User

I cut a piece from a rubber eraser, left a prong stick out, pushed into the hole in brake pedal and used tape to secure it. Tomorrow I'll get the proper part. 05-26-2021, 10:40 AMHonda-Tech Member
