My break lights are staying on and draining my battery when the cars off. I've disconnected the battery for now. ive adjusted the nut as much as possible behind the break pedal so the button would get pressed. it seemed to work for a bit, but the lights are back on again. Do i have to replace the break light switch, and if so how do i do that?
