Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Pedal Stopper Pad
- Open the door in the driver position, and down where the pedals are you will see the stop pedal system.
- You will see that there is a missing part because the pedal should push completely a white button so the break backlights can turn off. This missing part is called the pedal stopper pad.

- Connect again the stop lamb switch and make sure that the pedal stopper pad touches the button when you release the brake pedal.

Now that you have followed these steps to fix the system, you can drive safely and without worries. They are simple steps that require a lot of handwork and patience, but they are worth it. Fixing the things on our own is really important because you learn something new, and you can help others if they are having the same problem. Even if it is not the same car model, you have the idea to analyze the brake system and check if it is the same problem.
