   Hello fuckers,
   
   Adjusted my brake pedal today, but now for some reason the brake lights are staying on all the time. No idea why
   
   Haynes is out now to see if that has any answers
   
   Anyone else got any answers or suggestions for me?!

   sounds like you may have over-adjusted the push rod

   the one that runs from the pedal across the back of the engine to the servo, is that what you adjusted?

   yes, undone the end bolt and moved the pedal relay lever across a bit, then moved the other nut across to hold it in place
   
   but lights come on, but even when ive undone it, its not gone off

   Could you have nudged the handbrake sensor at all?
