Why does my brake pedal feel hard when I start my car?
Vacuum – or really lack of vacuum pressure – is the most common cause of a hard brake pedal, and therefore the first thing to look at when a hard pedal is present. Any brake booster (whether from Master Power or any other supplier) needs a vacuum source to operate. When this happens, the pedal gets harder.
What does it mean when your brakes are jumping?
Bouncing Up and Down When You Stop Short. If your vehicle rocks or bounces with sharp braking, it’s probably not a brake problem at all. It could be a harmless squeak from certain types of material in brake pads. There may be dust or moisture somewhere in the braking system that isn’t causing damage.
Why does the brake pedal won’t go down?
Upon further inspection, it appears the master cylinder on the brake was leaking. This could be the issue……….overnight fluid seeps in and makes the brake impossible to push. After some pumps and turning the car ON, the pressure is returned to normal and the car will start.
Do you push the brake all the way?
Whether the brake is depress all the way or not the car knows when you are pushing on the brake. i had the same situation when my battery was almost dead from being in Acc. the lights and everything worked but the car wouldnt start and the beeper was a very dull low sound. get a jump and try to start it.
Why does my car not start when I press the brake?
The ikey uses the brake switch to tell if you’re pressing the brake when trying to start the car. So if your brake lights are still coming on then the switch is working and it’s probably the battery. If the brake lights aren’t coming on then its most likely the brake switch (cheap part that several have had to replace).
Why does my car not start when I turn the key?
* When i turn the key to start the car all of the electronic fire up but the starter never turns (or clicks). * The brake pedal is extremely stiff (that is what she said) and i can’t depress it very far all at. * Brake lights turn on when pressing the pedal (so that i believe rules out the switch).
