the brake light on my 98 accord stays on even though all the lights are working. tried resseting it but as soon as u touch the brake pedal it comes back on. any ideas on how to fix it?

 

coupe sedan? the brake light failure senser is located in diff spots. Ok wait are we talking brake light or brake light out light?

 

on the brake lever. there is a brake light switch. open it up and clean it and it should work fine.

 

Is it the same lamp that comes on with the handbrake? Or the other one that says 'brake lamp'?

Brake lamp warning is based on the current draw from the different brake lamps. If one has a dirty or corroded bulb socket, it can set off that warning. Sometimes even working bulbs that don't match each other...

And... Are you actually checking the BRAKE lamps, or are you simply looking at the parking lights? Working parking lights don't mean the brake lamps are OK.

 

how is the pedal pressure for your brakes?
