How to Remove the Verna Brake Light Switch?

[AdrianaLee]

The following are the steps to remove the Verna brake light switch: 1. Remove the cover plate: The brake light switch is located above the brake pedal, with a spring contact pressing against the brake pedal linkage. The cover plate is the base plate above the brake, clutch, and accelerator pedals, secured by three self-tapping screws and supported by two plastic clips inside. Metric hex keys are required to remove the self-tapping screws. 2. Disconnect the wiring: After removing the cover plate, the brake light switch can be seen above the brake pedal. The switch connector is a clip-type; gently squeeze the clips on both sides to disconnect it easily. 3. Remove the switch: This switch is a twist-lock type and cannot be pulled out by force. Hold the switch and twist it to the left to remove it smoothly.

I've been driving a Hyundai Verna for several years and often tinker with minor issues myself. Removing the brake light switch requires a step-by-step approach. It's located right next to the brake pedal – just crouch under the driver's seat to spot a small switch with wires attached. Before starting, always disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety first, otherwise short circuits may cause injury or damage circuits. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the plastic cover above the pedal (usually secured by 3-4 small screws), gently unscrew them and keep them safe. Unplug the connector steadily without yanking to avoid breaking wires. The switch is mounted on a bracket: if screw-fixed, just loosen the screws; for clip-type, push with fingers to release. When installing the new switch, align the tab direction correctly before tightening screws and reconnecting the plug. After completion, reconnect the battery and have someone press the pedal to check if taillights illuminate. The whole process takes about 20-30 minutes – DIY saves repair costs, but since switch aging is a common cause, investing in high-quality parts extends lifespan.

As a car owner, I've personally replaced the brake light switch a few times. The key is not to rush. The switch on the Verna is located at the brake pedal linkage - just look down and you'll spot it. Always disconnect the power first: turn off the engine and remove the negative battery cable to avoid electric shock. Use basic tools like a screwdriver: gently remove the small screws holding the cover plate and keep them safe; when unplugging the connector, confirm the locking tab direction and avoid twisting to prevent damaging the contacts. The switch mounting is simple - just loosen screws or push the clip to remove. When installing the new switch, align it properly and secure firmly. Don't forget to test functionality - after reconnecting power, press the pedal to check light operation. Once I didn't test it and nearly had an accident driving off - a reminder that switch failure affects the core brake signal, so regularly clean the contacts during maintenance. A screwdriver is all you need for tools, and wearing gloves prevents scratches for extra safety.

Last time I disassembled the brake light switch on my Verna myself, and it wasn't difficult to operate. The location is near the brake pedal under the driver's seat, just crouch down and you'll find it. The key steps are to disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery to ensure no electric shock. Then use a screwdriver to loosen the small screws on the protective cover, remove it, and unplug the connector from the exposed switch. The fixing points are usually screws or clips, just loosen them to remove the switch. Snap the new switch back into place, then reinstall the protective cover and reconnect the battery. Finally, test if the lights are working properly. The whole process is quick to get the hang of, and it's easy for beginners to learn—just be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the parts. If the switch is broken, the lights won't work, so just buy the matching model in advance. It took me half an hour to complete, saving on repair costs.
