Were and how do you change a brake light switch on a Daewoo Leganza 2001
I just had my Daewoo Leganza brake light switch replaced. It goes under the brake pedal. and now my brake lights work fine.
This either means that your emergency brake (hand brake) is on, the light switch needs to be fixed, OR (most common) you need to add more brake fluid. Always check your brake fluid first!
No direct answer but this may help. I have changed the brake light switch on my 1998 Leganza Automatic. The switch is located above the brake/clutch pedal. It is a normally-off push switch which is activated as the brake pedal is depressed. Turn switch through 90 degrees to release it. Unplug cable harness. Replace with new switch and reconnect to socket. It is most likely that you will have to adjust the striking rod so the brake lights respond correctly.(Simply release the locknut, adjust in or out and tighten locknut again. . My 1999 Leganza switch is in the same place as the previous answer. This switch, when defective, causes symptoms such as the gear shift locking in park. If the brake switch is becoming defective constantly, you might want to check brake lights - they may be drawing too much power wich might be burning out the switch
Lift the vehicle on a car jack, remove the tire, remove the brake shoe/calipers, and remove the old brake pads. Put in the new brake pads, replace the brake shoe/calipers, replace the calipers, and lower the car.
#17 it's in your manual..it's under *ABS
In the fuse box located on the drivers side just on the left wall of your left foot
Auto Zone part #80171.
its under the dash mounted near the brake pedal,its either a push-pull switch or a plunger. the power relay is in the main relay bank under the hood and there is a separate fuse in there as well. The relay map is underside of the relay bank cover
I have a 2000 Leganza and it would not shift out of park/gear recently. I discovered it was a bad brake switch with signals the brake lights to activate and the shifter to release. The switch is a small plug-type part and I found a used one on line for about 30 bucks. labor to put it in was about 50. ! rjemay@msn.com I had same problem years ago - there was a recall on the brake light switch - you may be able to get it replaced for free? In case you get stuck though and need to get it home - stick a screw driver into the slot next to your shifter to get it into gear. Get the switch fixed though - your brake lights may not be coming on.
Don't just fool around with it...tighten the fastening screw or if the problem is actually a fault within the switch (intermittent fault) as when it is touched or with road vibration...replace the switch.
