I have 1 2003 Elantra. Sometimes when I push the brake pedal the oil light comes on for a split second. Any idea why this would happen?

SOURCE: 2004 Hyundai Elantra.......Cruise control will not engage

make sure the cruise control cable to the throttle isn't too loose, if it is ok, check your brake switch. if it is sending the signal the brake is on it will not allow cruise to work and will do same thing as described about the set light.

SOURCE: trailer brake controller problem

I found the problem. Talking with a technician from the controller company, we determined that it was a fuse problem. I found that the fuse to the CHMSL was blown.

unless you can discover what DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) has been recorded/set in the control module, it's anyone's guess.

SOURCE: My ABS, brake and oil lights keep coming on at the

Its exactly the abs module! and its keeping the ecu from communicating with the rest of the car, when you remove the module your tac will come back alive and the oil light will turn off. There is way to trick the ecu to thinking the abs module is working but it involves taking out the module, it is fairly simple. My email address is [email protected], email me, and I will give you pictures and instructions on what to do. Its really easy, your abs and break light will go off along with the beeping!

SOURCE: The oil light in my 2003 Neon keeps coming on.

it is most definitely the oil pressure sender!

standing in front of your car, look behind your engine from above, below the head and screwed into the block on the right side is the sensor.

My stop light and brake lights will not go out. Any suggestions? It is a 2005 Elantra.

Check for a switch along (and next to) the arm of the brake pedal. Sometimes there is a plastic piece on the arm that presses a plunger in when you let off the brakes. If that plastic piece breaks, nothing pushes the plunger in on the switch to turn off the lights when you let off the pedal. Had this issue on my 97 Accord. Or the switch itself could be bad.

Why wont my brake light turn off... they are on all the time

You most likely have a faulty stop light switch. I have provided you with a couple of pictures. The first one in black and white is where you will find the switch and the second one is a picture of what your switch should look like but may not be what is in the car but you will get the idea. What happens is when you press the brake pedal a little button on the switch opens and when it opens it completes an electrical circuit and turns the brake lights on. when you let off the brake pedal the pedal comes back up and pushes that button back in to close the circuit. it is most likeley stuck open and not pushing back in when the pedal goes back up. When you see it you will understand better. I hope this helps you and good luck.

Sometimes the brakelight dont come on. i push the pedal and it takes a few seconds to come on. i changed the brake light bulbs,checked the fuses all good

there is a switch, like a push button, mounted to the brake pedal arm. i would look there next. they unplug from wiring and generally some type of snap/clip holds them onto the brake pedal arm. you will have to get down on the gournd and look up underneath the dashboard. a flash light could come in handy

2003 aviator brake lights wont shut off

There is a switch located on the brake pedal up under the dash.When you depress the pedal, the pedal arm allows a push-button to extend out, making electrical contact and illuminating the lights. Sometimes this will work its way out of adjustment, allowing the lights to stay on.
