What are the causes of brake light failure?
1 Answers
The causes of brake light failure include the following: 1. Brake system failure: Damage to the brake fluid pipe causing severe oil shortage in the brake system; low oil level in the brake fluid reservoir leading to failure of the float-type sensor, resulting in the brake warning light not illuminating or lighting up to indicate a brake system fault; severe wear of brake pads, pre-buried wire breakage causing brake system failure; the brake warning system itself failing; simple circuit faults such as short circuits and the generation of steam in the brake fluid pipes causing brake system failure. The solution to such brake system failures causing the brake light not to illuminate is to seek professional repair at a maintenance shop. 2. Brake bulb failure: Mainly refers to the brake bulb exceeding its service life, with current halogen brake bulbs having a lifespan of 1~2 years. To solve this type of problem, LED lights can be used instead, with a lifespan of 5~10 years, low power consumption, fast response speed, no delay in lighting up, and being environmentally friendly without pollution. 3. Brake switch failure: Mainly refers to poor contact of the switch behind the brake pedal. The solution for this type of brake light not illuminating is relatively simple—just replace the brake switch.
