Brake light switch constantly breaking
Hi,
I have a 2013 Yaris, and recently the brake light switch has been going bad (abs and traction control lights on at the same time). Mechanics have replaced it 4 times now in the last 5 months, the last two times at the dealer. The mechanic at the dealer said that they had it in diagnostics all day, and they found no issues aside from the bad brake light switch. The problem started when I was driving a highway speeds (50 mph) through the snow, and I hit a patch of chunky snow/ice. The general sound being hitting a series a pot holes at 50 mph. Shortly after the abs and traction control lights went on. Since the first time, the switch will go bad after about two weeks to a month of daily driving. The abs and traction control lights will go on, then they may go off if the car is turned off and sits for a while. Eventually the problem won't go away after turning the car off. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem may be? Thanks! |
