No,just install a new "stopper".It presses on the brake light switch(holds
the button in) when you're NOT on the brake pedal.With it gone,the switch
thinks your foot is on the pedal,and the button is always out and lights
ON.
The same thing happened to my 94 Integra recently;the plastic degraded and
it crumbled and fell off.It cost me $60 for the dealer to do it,as I had no
idea there WAS such a "stopper"(plastic button) and thought it needed a
brake light switch.
