One note I'd add is that the wires for the switches you disconnect at 6:40 don't just pull straight out. You have to press the tab down in the middle for them to come out, much like an Ethernet network cable. The dealer wanted to charge $485 to do this repair, but thanks to this video I was able to get the part and do it myself! The genuine Honda part wasn't just the switch on its own, but the switch with the housing, so instead of messing with those four tabs like you do around the 8:00 mark (actually, you cut away, which means it's really hard to do) you just remove two additional screws underneath, press in on two tabs underneath the Brake Hold button, then pop the Brake Hold button into your new housing, then screw that in and reconnect.

Thanks man!! Your walkthrough for checking if my ebrake motor really came in clutch I appreciate you uploading this to the internet for the world to see!!! Will be ordering a replacement switch now 💯

Omg thank u so much bro I was scared that a part of my Honda 2018 was missing. UR A LIFE SAVER ❤❤

Thanks very much for this video John. This made my day I replaced switch myself and saved $300 which is the quote Honda dealer gave me for this task 😊

Bless you ! This worked with a $15 switch from Ali express.

You are a life saver, dude! Thank you!

Thanks a lot. I couldn’t park because my driveway is on a steep incline but thanks to your vid I did the brake hold trick and then turned off my car.

Thanks! Fixed the electric parking brake problem, it took less than 30 minutes to replace the switch.

Awesome video thanks brother

Thanks for the save man

Thanks for sharing. Is it still safe to drive to the workshop as i am not confident to fix it myself. Thanks.

Thank you brother! Just happened when i parked my car and i was over here rocking my car thinking its seized lmao but my grandma just bought me the module, i also noticed some brown residue on the sticker..light works from the module but it can be getting old

thanks very helpful!! My brake hold and emergency brake error is showing will it need two different sensors?

Si funciona increíble, me paso lo mismo y cierto el motor funciona. 🎉

Not very long ago a parking brake was a lever with a ratchet and button pulling on some steel cables going to the rear brakes. -bring me up to speed? What was wrong with this?

Thank you so much for this video. after 7 years of ownership the parking brake button gave out. 2016 Honda Civic Ex-T. Was able to properly diagnosed using the steps here and fixed the issue on my parking brake. Just got the part today and installed it 👌

Muchas gracias

Hey John! Appreciate the video, it was super helpful. I ordered a part that initially works but then the release of the parking brake only seems to work when push the cable in with a little extra force. Hopefully it's just a faulty button since I got an Amazon part, do you have a recommendation for the switch you used by any chance?

Hi,How’s your parking break now?still good?i have the same issue and im planning to buy the same one

Thank you for the upload, I have the same issue and just bought the same replacement. Do you recommend changing the switch myself? Or pay someone with experience?

The handbrake can't be lowered on the 2019 Honda Civic, what do you think? even though the parking switch has been replaced but still can't get off the handbrake

How to remove the switch into the main vessel?😢

Hi. I have this issue with my 2016 civic EX-T. I followed your video and replaced the ebrake, but the light still comes on. The e brake is working just fine. Any suggestions?

Pa shawarawt naman bro! ❤️

One down John😎

Can you provide a link to the brake switch ?

What about 2018 civic Manuel

Is anyone able to provide a link to the Amazon item that I can order for replacement. I am in Canada.

my issue is every time I drive my car makes a beeping sound and my dash has (electric parking break problems and other isssues that pop up on the dash so if I replace the parking break hopefully it’ll take off the issues on the dash and the beeping sound

I can't figure it out, do I need to remove the P part? I just need for the Brake System to go away.

❤❤❤

You put it back together before you tested it. Confident man!

Bro what is the name of that part I have same problem I want to order it from Amazon

Thank you so much for your video it help me a lot.👍

How you make your gas meter blue mine is red ?

Can you please list the parts you ordered to. Correct this issue?

What do I do if the brake motor isn't working like you said 😞

honestly it just happened to me outside the wendys parking lot, luckily i had food otherwise I would have lost my shit lol but anyway, all I did was wait 30 min or so, watched a couple videos like this, and then tried it again, it turned on, and then made my way to autozone down the road to have them charge my battery which was at 60%

Dealership would have charged you $950 👍
