Okay im getting a brake light circuit failure but my brakes are working. It comes on and off and the other day my brakes werent working at all.
I sourced a problem on top of my brake pedal. Theres a little white nipple that pops in and out when u pressed the brakes. Sometimes its not coming out, how can i fix this??
Another reason brake light circuit could be is my cruise controls not working

Had the same sort of problem with my obc telling me about brake circuit failure.
Went to the local euro junkyard and got another switch like the one you're talking about.
Solved the problem.

yep, most likely your brake switch. You might try taking it off and spraying some wd40 up in it to lubricate it.

It's the BLS as you already know. I don't think it's a good idea to get an used one. It's a cheap part also.

they are cheap and somewhat easy to replace, it just a very akward position. just replace it, it's an inexpensive part. and it's SOOO annoying when people in your car are like "what's that mean!?"
when you do replace it, just break/cut out the old one, make your life easier. you'll know what i mean when you replace it

When I replaced mine, I just replaced the whole bracket along with the switch. There's only one bolt holding it on, and although it's a bit of a pain, it wasn't bad at all and only took about 10 minutes to remove and replace it.
I got mine from a local wrecking yard for a few dollars, and it solved the problem. No more obc messages.
Now I gotta do my front struts, along with my brake pads and rotors......
