Brake Light Switch?

auto · 10-11-2007, 03:32 PM

...well, my brake lights won't turn off and they stay on. Ncturnal gave me the part number 84340-30070. But the places I called said it was $58 - $61 dollars. I found a shattered piece of plastic on the carpet of my car (Underneath the pedals), looked like this...

Any help/solution?

I'll call you if I haven't checked back with this in the next few hours or so.

Will do. I went to ATS in Denton earlier and one of the mechanics helped me out by tightening one of he bolts so the lights turned off. But my cruise control doesn't work sincethe piece is broken. Toyota of Lewisville was telling me $58 and Toyota of Dallas was teling me $61

84340-30070 is the brake light switch for '91-'92 cars with cruise control (other years and other cars wikll use different switches). Club price on that is $45.41.

i know this isnt a tech thread but i need help. i am resurectingan old thread. did the switch being replaced fix the problem. i am at work and my brake lights are stuck on. i found the same piece of plastic. i dont see where this piece connects to the switch in the pictures i have seen. it appears to me that the plastic piece is on the pedal side. need help. thanks.

The plastic piece is the bushing that goes on the brake clevis pin. When it breaks, the pedal has more slop than it used to and no longer pushes the switch high enough to make contact. Just adjust the switch down a turn or 2 and you should be fine until you can replace the bushing. Your switch is probably fine.
