Brake Pedal - Click Or Pop When Depressed

SOURCE:
Honda Service News November 2004

TITLE:
Click or Pop When Pressing the Brake Pedal

APPLIES TO:
2003-04 Accord or 2001-05 Civic

SERVICE TIP:
Got a 2003-04 Accord or 2001-05 Civic in your shop that clicks or pops when you press the brake pedal? The culprit could be the brake pedal position switch. The switch plunger doesn't fit squarely into the switch casing. When you press the brake pedal, the plunger rubs the side of the casing and makes noise. There's a simple fix for this problem: Just turn the switch around so the connector lock now faces the 5 o'clock position.
