Well guys today as i was letting my friend drive my car the brake lights were not working properly. First i thought he never braked but then when he came back i asked him he said he did. So the brake lights are not working properly? Can it be the fuse or the wiring is fried. Its a coupe also.

Check first, look for the issue, then ask for help if no dice.

I'm not trying to sound like a d!ck, but at least make an effort.

its easy fix is because your sensor under the brake pedal is busted l or is stuck that happened to my friends car check it u can tested by hand and see if thats it

Yeah, this happened in my hatch. Turns out one of the grounds in the hatch area was rusty so it was popping the switch under the steering column.

Ya, that'll last...

25320-75A0E costs 12.47, if you ask for a 10% discount, they should give it to you. Thats from the dealer. Looked it up on my parts screen, same part for s13 or s14.

I would imagine that there is a Nissan dealer in your area right. That is why I gave you Nissan part# and price to compare at your local dealer. But if you want to pick a OEM style aftermarket part off of ebay and consider that OEM, then more power to u.

How did you figure that it was your brake switch?
