How to fix the brake light failure of Haval H6?
3 Answers
Haval H6 brake light failure solutions are: 1. Check whether it is caused by brake switch, brake light circuit, brake light bulb, or circuit fuse failure; 2. Replace the brake switch; 3. Replace the brake pads. Taking the 2021 Haval H6 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4615mm, width 1860mm, height 1720mm, wheelbase 2680mm, and body weight 1675kg. The 2021 Haval H6 front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a double-wishbone independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5t turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150ps, maximum torque of 210nm, maximum power of 110kw, and matched with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Haval H6 for several years and have dealt with brake light issues a few times. Initially, I always thought it was just a bulb problem—replacing it with a new one would fix it, since bulbs have a limited lifespan and burn out easily. Later, I realized it wasn't just the bulbs; the fuses often failed too. The fuse box in the Haval H6 is located in the engine compartment. You need to find the one corresponding to the brake light, check if it's blown, and replace it—it's cheap. If replacing it doesn't work, you'll need to check for a short circuit in the wiring or a malfunctioning switch under the brake pedal. I've tested it myself with simple tools; sometimes dust buildup makes the switch less responsive, and cleaning it fixes the issue. Don't underestimate this problem—brake light failure increases the risk of rear-end collisions, especially at night. For beginners, I recommend starting with checking the bulbs and fuses—it saves time and money. If that doesn't solve it, take it to a professional repair shop as soon as possible. Safety comes first.
When encountering a brake light malfunction, I prefer to inspect my Haval H6 myself. First, open the trunk to check the light cover, remove the bulb to see if it's blackened or has a broken filament—replacing a new bulb is inexpensive, costing just a few dollars. If the bulb is fine, check the fuse. Locate the brake light position in the fuse box under the driver's seat to see if it's blown, then try replacing it. If that doesn’t work, inspect the brake pedal switch; press it a few times to check for sticking, as dust buildup is a common issue. Keep a small multimeter handy to test circuit continuity and avoid short circuits. The whole process is straightforward and can save on repair costs. The Haval H6’s electrical system isn’t overly complex, but safety is paramount—test drive after repairs to confirm the lights are functioning properly. Regular vehicle maintenance and periodic cleaning of electrical components can help prevent issues.
