Thanks for making this video Maark. My light started staying on yesterday. I'm about to work on my 2003 xterra. now I know why my cruise control hasn't been working as well. On club xterra forum someone mentioned using a rubber grommet (tab) like in bottom of a desktop computer or other small appliance but I like your idea using the plastic bolt. I think the tip about leaving the xterra idling will be a big help.
Hey, "Maarkie Marrk ", you rock! a) you are very kind and generous to have taken the time to make this video and to share it with us publicly. I have the same problem with my Nissan X Terra 2003. I haven't checked out the brake light ("lamp") switch yet, BUT, this was REALLY helpful! If the switch was fine but the problem still existed. I would have been very confused. But, your video gave me a new perspective on determining the problem, (versus "putting all my eggs in the 'broken brake switch basket"! ;) b) You were VERY polite and considerate during your presentation. KUDOS, man! We ALL wish there were many more people like you. Anyway, this is my way of saying THANK YOU, DUDE! Be well, be joyful and be prosperous in all ways, always, Joseph "
Thanks man. I'm very flattered by this. I appreciate your comments. Well, if you are in a situation where you can find a way to give back to the public in any way, I will encourage you to go for it! This was just a temporary fix. But it has helped several viewers. God bless you Sir and thanks again.. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much for this video! This just happened to my 2003 Xterra today and I was able to fix it in less than an hour after watching your video. Greatly appreciated !
Mahalo! And much aloha!! Haven’t done it yet...been watching videos on how tho. Got my girlfriends car and she gets back Saturday...hoping I can fix it before she gets home. OF COURSE it happpens to me, never happened to her lol...been freaking out the entire week...I got this, I think..thanks to people like you. Jesus Bless! ❤️🙏🕊🙌👍
Lol.. Good luck my friend! :) I only made the video because I couldn't find a Nissan Xterra video for this matter during the time. But I'm happy to hear that I was able to help you.. God bless you too!~*
I used these for a quick fix. just stuck them over the hole. www.acehardware.com/departments/home-and-decor/indoor-furniture/protective-furniture-pads/5182381
Super easy fix! The key is to turn on the ignition, press in the brake pedal when installing the pin stopper. Takes less then 30 seconds...really. 1) pull the fuse under the dash to turn off the brake light 2) look for pieces of the stopper on the floor board to confirm that the stopper is the problem 3) locate the the Stop Lamp Switch and the ASCD Brake Switch located at the top of the brake pedal (stand on your head for that part) 4) If there is no stopper at the end of the switch(s) then order the part from the Nissan Dealer or Auto Parts store ...probably the only part Nissan still carries for the 2000 Xterra 5) Insert the stopper in the end (round side goes in the hole) 6) Reinstall the fuse 7) Check to see that the brake lights are working (or the cruise control if that needed to be replaced too!) Your ready to go!
This just happened to my 2000 Xterra thanks for the heads up on the steering column bracket. I was about to try and take that off. It's 97 degrees right now so I'm gonna wait until it gets a little cooler to tackle this. Btw your Xterra looks nice mine is starting to fade.
That's great George! Come back and tell me how everything went please. Yes it was the best SUV in my life! Did a knock sensor replacement, spark plugs replacements, crankshaft position sensor replacement, total tune up and then sold it. My biggest mistake. Should've kept her. New tires, everything was top maintenance. I cry about it still lol. Thanks for looking at my video.
@@midnightboymc I ended up using those self adhesive pads you put on the bottom of chair legs to keep them from scuffing floors, so far so good. Now I have to fix my right turn signal and a small hole on my radiator and the motor is beginning to rough idle. With a 20 yr. old car if it's not one thing it's a bunch of other things. Oh well.
Same issue on mine...went to Oreilys and bought a pack of Nissan plastic "bumper clips"...that was it, snapped that bad boy on in that bracket hole on the top end of the brake pedal and the flat end of the clip was making contact with the button on the switch...problem solved with under 5 minutes of labor with your knowledge/help. Thanks!!
aaron harwell you're welcome Aaron. I'm glad to hear it helped you. I wish I could have made a better video.. oh well.. I hope that this helps as many as possible.
Video was not helpful for me because it does’t show you how to install the bolt where the stop pad goes. There is not enough room to install bolt and install nut.
@midnightboymc ty I appreciate the vote of confidence, but for 109 including tax, a mechanic did it and it's done correctly and my brain won't think about while I travel and i didn't 😊
5 yrs ago and your video is still helping people ! Thank you much! My yellow Xterra thanks you! Oh and removing the fuse....... brilliant

Don't get rid of your Xterra like I did. I miss that sports utility vehicle so darn much!!!

I'm glad it helped you..
It's what it's all about brother..
This is very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much!
Very helpful!!!!
Zeze the X
You're welcome Zeze!👍
it's been a good little method thus far. Every now and then I check the screws to see if they have loosened up but it's been good.
Marco Cuevas...THANK YOU SOON MUCH. Couldn't have done it without your video and suggestions. You rock man.
dianahardman1960 You are very welcome!*👍

Why not just get the correct part and install that? Dorman HELP! parts used to carry it and i know it's still available from Nissan.
THX for trying but I do not thinkk you are fit for this type of work.
Haha thanks for visiting my video and finding yourself!
I dont feel like i can do this myself. Ahhhhhhh
@@g.josephhall2472 yes you can!!!
@midnightboymc ty I appreciate the vote of confidence, but for 109 including tax, a mechanic did it and it's done correctly and my brain won't think about while I travel and i didn't 😊
5 minutes into the video and still no fix blah blah blah
You did soooo much unnecessary work.. All you had to do was turn on your engine, press the brake pedal and push in the new piece....🤪
Get to the fucking point!!
