Why does my brake light stay on after a complete stop?

By Rachel Hill |

Why does my brake light stay on after a complete stop?

Due to the expected wear and tear, the brake pedal springs may not be able to connect with the switch or worn out springs or the pedal itself. Check this by making sure that the brake pedal goes all the way down and safely comes back up. Failure of the pedal to disengage will leave the light on even after a complete stop.

What happens when you change the brake fluid?
