  2004 Clio 1.4
Hi,
i have a 2004 Clio 1.4... i have seen it's a relatively common issue, but the brake lights dont come on at all unless my foot is fully depressed to the floor, basically an emergency brake!
I have had the brakelight switch changed, this did not solve the issue.... any ideas what else it could be?
Thanks

Did you have it replaced with a genuine renault one. I had a problem where the aftermarket ones just stop working after the first press.
Returned 3 of them to europarts before i gave up and bought a Renault one. No problems since. Might be worth checking

Ah ok, thank you. I hadnt thought of that. I know where the switch is, I'll see if I can have a look but if not i will ask the garage, as i was going to take it in anyway for further investigation when I can afford it. Thanks!

If you arent sure about it just take a picture and im sure someone on here can tell if its a genuine renault one or not.
The other thing to check would be fuses. You can do that yourself for free before you take it anywhere else

Ah fuses, yea. I'll try and get a photo of it later on when I'm with the car. How would.i check the fuses, are they near the switch itself?
Thanks!

Should be in the fuse box to the left of the steering wheel. There will be a diagram in there showing fuse layout.
Worth a check just in case

Thats the problem i had i the first place. I pulled the plunger out all the way and let the pedal set it, but the pedal must have had too much travel for the switch and it ruined it. Thats why i suggested getting a genuine one. But adjusting is a good shout before spending more money. You might get lucky

Guys how can it be the fuse when it works when the pedal is fully depressed??

Sounds like a dodgy non oe switch, or an incorrectly set switch
