I did exactly this and it was just enough room to push the pedal back a tad bit more. I used silicone grease like some suggested above and the force of the switch pushed it in place. It took like 5 minutes total. I can’t believe I didn’t do this the first time when I spent hours down there...
Funny you mentioned that. I had the little rubber nipple that presses the rear brake light switch tear. I stuck a nickel in there so the rear brake lights would shut off. I have the rubber piece, I just haven’t installed it yet.
Could that possibly be doing something??
Brakes are fine for the first 5 minutes or so when I first leave the house. Brake pedal has its usual give and brakes function as they should. After I drive for a bit and it warms up, the brake pedal becomes stiff with no give. Engine is noticeably pushing through what seems to be stuck brakes...
Well look what I found on the floor mat underneath the brake pedal. Y’all are on top of it. Best place to order online? My nearest dealer is 20 miles away and I’d rather not go into a covid19 infested city. Currently a quarter has the lights turned off.
Pushed the tranny shifter forward with a purpose and they shut off. Rubber shifter gasket perhaps after all? Still having the issue. I will also check the brake pedal gasket too.
