    Unreal. I have a Juke - and this exact problem happened. Brought out a Mechanic and he told me I'd need a new starter (maybe a new alternator). Watched this video, tried your fix, and the CAR STARTED. $50 fix to replace the connectors with new. You saved me so much money - thank you!

    I have a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder and need to replace the hard rubber bushing that goes into the break pedal. It comes into contact with the tip of the switch to turn off the break lights. The cruise control switch also rests on a similar bushing. Both bushing disintegrated after only 22 years😂😂😂, so no complaint here. They cost $5.00 each. I think a mechanic would charge over $50 to replace them. Definitely you solved a big problem for me. Thanks!

    All I did is to remove the switch, open the switch gently by releasing it from side clips, you will see two free terminals. Take them out. Use maf sensor cleaner to clean it. rubbed them gently against sandpaper (two small round points) put them back on, make sure both terminals should touching each other. I have fixed my cruise blinking and not engaging issue. You probably don't need to buy new one😂. 5 minutes and done. Cheers

      That seems to be early for those switches to fail, but it is possible that there is dust or grit in them that is making it lose contact every now and then. I took apart the one that caused my issue and it looked pretty good inside except on of the contacts looked like it had over heated and was completely discolored, the other contacts looked great like they were new.

    Very well done! I have a 2009 FX35 with a touch over 100k miles that is starting to show signs of starting troubles that seem switch-related rather than starter related. Your video was great! The steady webcam idea was brilliant and worked well. Your apologies for grunts are appreciated but not necessary. Anyone who has worked under the dash knows exactly the torture you were enduring!!! I previously installed a remote start in this vehicle and left part of my soul under the dash in the process. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Friend, You are a person who "has your furniture in your head, well placed" Thank you because I had my focus on this issue that you solved very well. A note. Do not disconnect any electrical part in Nissan, without disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery. For the CPU to "see" when something new is installed. And avoid programming you want a complicated and expensive scanner. Thank you, Doctor

      I recently aquired a relatively low mileage(89,000) 1996 Nissan Altima. It runs great, everything works as it should, except for the cruise control. I tried to use it, and it would not set the cruise speed. The cruise control light on dash blinked. I read it may be the brake light switch? The brakes light up fine, but I was just going to go ahead and purchase a new brake light switch, since they're not a whole lot of money. Then, looking on rock auto, I see my car(apparently lots of cars) also has a similar looking, cruise control release switch. I don't have a way to test the switches, and now I'm not sure which one to replace, or maybe just replace both? Does spraying WD-40 on them somehow restore the connection or something if one, or both quit working?
      Any Advice would he greatly appreciated.

      @@BradleyGunner-67 Hi David. I'm not the original poster. He replaced both switches and that's probably the best way to do it. But I'm, at best, a "shade tree" mechanic, so I just took both of the switches out and sprayed down into the plungers with WD-40. They are still working fine today. WD-40 is good for restoring SOME connectivity problems and worked well in this case. The switches are easy to remove and replace and require no tools to do so. Just take care to put them and their connectors back just as you found them and it should work. If not, then just replace them as the original poster did. One or both of these switches does permit the cruise control to work. I'm not sure which one, so service them both. Good luck.

    My moms 2005 Altima’s fix. After trying all “THREE” fuse boxes, changing bulbs (smh, bulbs wasn’t blown) it was the brake light switch that was causing the break lights not to work. (Break light bulb is the same as the tail light bulb, if the tail light works then check your brake light switch. 30 second fix, no tools required to replace.

    I’m not sure if the 2020 Sentra has the same switches but it definitely has the same issues. My niece drove over 1000 miles to our place a couple weeks ago. Somewhere along the way someone told her that her twilight was out. I went out to the car with her and told her to turn the lights on. Sure enough only one twilight was on. I told her to press the brake pedal, nothing! The third brake light worked but the two in the tail lights didn’t. A 4 year old car and if this is the switch issue, she’s past her warranty for a faulty switch ( I know bulbs, brake pads, tires, wipers etc aren’t covered ) so this is on her. I’ve never had a tail light, or signal light burn out within the first 5 or 6 years so if 3 bulbs in the rear taillights burned out that’s pretty sad. I’ve never had a switch malfunction but then I’ve only ever owned one Nissan an early 80s Stanza. By the number of UA-cam videos and Nissan Forum comments, this is a very common Nissan problem. This is also a safety hazard as brake lights come in pretty handy in avoiding being hit from behind.

    If you dont have money or you dont want to spend that money you can actually Fix it your self its easy. just open the switch and clean or sand the copper connections that are inside and its going to work as new.

    These videos are great but I just have a hard time visualizing what I need to do, or where to be, when the camera seems to be taking a picture upside down . However, that's a great idea to be using a 2nd camera device to help see where things are, rather than turning my head upside down!

    • @madscientisthut
      @madscientisthut  5 років тому

      It is a tight area down under there. If you follow the brake pedal back side then up the the arm you can see the switches attached near the top of the arm.

    Super Awesome!!! But what if the switch is okay, and the part that pushes the switch's spring thing from the depressed brake pedal is broken??? So the spring isn't being pushed far enough, keeping the lights on all the time?! Oh my gosh. But thank you!! Really helped a lot!!

    My cruise control (cc) is not lighting up, nor working. It is precious for me to have cc for a longer 75mph commute. You think I should just purchase the cc switch/ part & go from there?
