How to Remove the Verna Brake Light Switch?
2 Answers
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.
