Check brake pedal position switch for security of mounting and smooth actuation. Spring loaded switch should extend as brake is pushed down.

I have had success w/ a good dousing of WD40 to improve switch movement.

good luck

I'm going to move this to General Tech. The place you posted is for questions about how the website operates, not car questions.

Welcome to HAF!
