How to Fix the Problem of Brake Lights Staying On

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

If the brake lights of your car stay on, the cause is a switch located under the brake pedal that has failed. It is a "normally open" switch, which only requires a slight pressure on the brake pedal to activate the lights. In this case (and mechanically, most cars work this way), the plastic of the two buttons had dried out due to the age of the vehicle, so the YouTuber replaced it with two bolts and metal washers, calibrating them to the required dimensions, which serve the same function as the plastic buttons, restoring the system to working order. Simple and effective.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
