I got in my car this morning and after starting it, was unable to pull it from park. So I got the girlfriend to wake up and check the brake lights and they do not light up when I press on the pedal. So the first thing I'm doing is replacing the pedal sensor but I am having difficulties getting to it. I can reach my hand in but can't see it. How does it unclip so maybe I can feel around? Or is there an easier way to get at it than going from underneath and reaching? -thanks Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 21, 2011, 3:39 PM Post #2 of 4 (4510 views) Re: '05 cobalt brake switch/sensor removal Sign In I would check the fuses first. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. cobalt17 New User May 21, 2011, 6:08 PM Post #3 of 4 (4503 views) Re: '05 cobalt brake switch/sensor removal Sign In Well...this is really weird. I checked my fuse and it was fine. I put a new sensor in with your procedure and it fixed the light problem. So now my brake lights light up when I press the pedal, but I still can't shift out of park... when I press the pedal I can hear a little click coming from the bottom of the shift knob but the button still won't push in. Because I am hearing a click does that mean the little solenoid in there is working? I am at a loss Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 21, 2011, 6:11 PM Post #4 of 4 (4499 views) Re: '05 cobalt brake switch/sensor removal Sign In It sounds like it's trying but may not be strong enough or you may have it jammed from trying to shift it. There shoult be a release there somewhere to manually unlock it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
