Brake lights staying on
I have a 2013 C250. My brake lights are staying on even when I am not pressing the brake pedal. Anyone know what would cause this ? I am thinking of replacing the brake light switch. How does the brake light switch on my car work? I usually see a button but I did not see one on the C250 switch. Thanks !

Thanks I did see that and it was helpful. I messed with the switch last night and now it works intermittently so I’m thinking my switch might be on it’s way out. I was just wondering how the switch mechanism works since it doesn’t appear to be a moving button like the other switches that ive seen. Is it a pressure sensor or it completes a circuit ?

Does the grey part on figure #9 of the link have a movable piece? I see you asked this question on the Pelican site...they sometimes take a long time to answer or no answer at all !!
