If the brake light switch is broken, will there be leakage? How to deal with the broken brake light switch?

I believe that everyone who has driven a car knows that the brake light is installed at the rear of the car. The color is red and it enhances the penetration of the light source. In the case of low visibility, the rear vehicle can respond to the front vehicle in time to prevent rear-end collisions and traffic accidents! This shows the importance of brake lights! What if the brake light switch is broken? Will it leak electricity?

If the brake light switch is broken, will it leak electricity?

If the brake light switch is broken, there will be no leakage.

However, a failure in the brake light switch will cause the brake lights to not light up. The brake lights can effectively remind the vehicles behind to keep a safe distance and reduce the occurrence of rear-end collisions.

The brake lights are used to warn the vehicles behind you, letting them know that you have slowed down so that they can take evasive or slow down actions in time. Therefore, if there is a problem with the brake lights, it needs to be checked by a professional.

If the brake light switch is broken, there will be no leakage of electricity, so there is no need to worry about it. Moreover, the battery voltage in the car is also within the safe voltage for the human body, so there is even less need to worry!

How to deal with a broken brake light switch

There are two situations when the brake switch is broken. In the first situation, the brake switch cannot be closed and the brake light cannot be lit. In the second situation, the brake switch cannot be disconnected and the brake switch contacts are burned, which will cause the brake light to be always on.

The brake light usually has a live wire, and there is electricity even when the key is not turned. After the wire is burned out, the brake light will always be on. If it is not discovered, there will be a leakage of electricity.

What to do if the brake light is broken and causes rear-end collision

If the rear car rear-ends the front car because the front car's brake lights are not on, the traffic police will determine that the front car is 30% responsible, and will also impose a warning or a fine of not less than 20 yuan and not more than 200 yuan according to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Law: If a motor vehicle driver violates the road traffic safety laws and regulations on road access, he shall be fined not less than 20 yuan and not more than 200 yuan.

The brake light is always on, consuming electricity. The EPC fault warning light will appear on the meter. The comfort system and transmission system of some models (systems) will control the relevant "actions" by comparing the brake light switch signal. For example, the transmission system controls the shift solenoid valve after comparison. This is why many car owners do not understand that the switch is broken, which causes some models to be unable to shift gears or the key cannot be pulled out. It appears on this small white accessory.
