Brake Pedal Switch Repair

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Checks and maintenance

If the brake lights do not turn on when pressing the brake pedal, there may be a fault with the pedal switch located near the lever. To access the switch, first remove the plastic protective cover located just under the dashboard, near the pedal assembly: once the cover is removed, it is easy to disconnect the connector and the switch itself. You will notice a plastic bushing that serves as a guide and stop for the button rod, which needs to be replaced.

In this video, you will see where the fuel filter is located in a Volvo XC60 and how to proceed if you need to replace it. As shown, the filter is positioned at the lower part of the engine, right between the left half-shaft and the sway bar attachment. To replace the filter, first, go underneath the vehicle, taking all necessary safety precautions. Then, using an 18mm wrench, open the drain valve and allow any water present to escape.
