2002 Jaguar X-Type brake light switch that is loose and keep ever now and then, rendering the brake lights on all the time. Could anyone help with ideas to fix it?

sounds like the brake switch, in front or back of brake pedal is bad or out of adjustment. If this is ok! check for a bad ground to rear tail lights. check brake light fuse first.

The bracket that holds the pedals becomes loose sometimes, letting the brake move slightly when you press the clutch. Check for that movement, there is an adjustment for the brake switch, the switch is on the brake pedal under tha dash. It can be pushed in or out which ever is necessary to get the brake lights off.

was the bulb made in china?? or did you pay for an original part?

Check the brake light fuse. If you blew a fuse for a brake light, you won't have power to the shift interlock which allows you to move the shifter.

it sounds the switch has not been adjusted correctly the way is to start the engine then hold the brake pedal on with the new switch unlocked

When I step on brakes rear fog lights pop on and tail lights go out
What shouldI do 2002 jaguar xtype 2.5

You discs might be warped check them and replac if needed.
Hope this helps.

I'm assuming you have checked all the obvious = bulbs/switches/fuse etc?
Can you switch the lights on manually ?
Is it the same if any door opened = no light?
If so =
the light timer/fader control may have failed.
Sorry I can't be more help.

Hi

You may have a problem with the lights control switch, I had a similar problem with lack of control and the switch was replaced = all okay.
Does the light switch feel 'definite' when moved from one position to another?

hope this helps.
