What happens when your clutch brakes?
You need to use the break and the clutch at the same time in such situations. An important thing to keep in mind is that pressing break with the clutch is not at all suitable for your car. The combination of the clutch and the brake can lead to excessive fuel consumption, halting jerks, and power wastage.
Why is my brake light switch not working?

Why does my dash light come on when I step on the brake?
I suspect that you have a broken wire in the trunk that will cause this = bad ground. There is a connector in the rear wiring harness near the rear seat that gets corroded that will cause this too. Clean the connections there on both sides of the connector then put electrolitic grease in there to help prevent corrosion.
Why are the brakes not applying when you push the pedal?
There will be a little free play in the linkages to the master cylinder/ brake fluid compressing in the brake lines so the brakes will not be applying until you push the pedal further any way. It reduces the risk of your brake lights flickering while driving if pedal is bumped. But I am not a mechanic.
Do you have to start the car to see the brake lights?
There is no need to start the car for this. In fact, the brake lights might be receiving power regardless of whether the car is on or off, so this step may not apply. Use a torch (a head-mounted lamp works great here) to see the business end of the brake pedal.
Why does my Clutch light keep coming on?

Why do my brake lights not light up?
My brake lights do not light up until I have pushed the pedal down by about 1cm.

What can I do to fix this? Is it an easy fix?
