The switch mounted at the brake pedal allows the rear stop lights to illuminate when the pedal is pressed: it is generally a normally closed switch, meaning when the button is released (brake pedal pressed), the switch keeps the circuit closed, turning on the lights; when the button is pressed (brake pedal released), the circuit opens and the lights turn off. The switch is fixed to a bracket above the brake pedal: to remove it, simply rotate it clockwise to disengage, extract the safety pin, and disconnect the connector.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
