Opel Meriva 2009: Brake light failure and 'brake light implausible' signal - experience and tips wanted

Hello, I had a similar problem with my 2012 Opel Zafira, where the footwell module was defective. The mechanic at my garage replaced the part and since then everything has been running great again. Yes, it was a serious problem because many functions in the car are controlled by the module. But the repair was successful, don't worry. So maybe this is also the case for you, see if the footwell module is OK for you.

Hey, thanks for the tip about the footwell module, I'll definitely have it checked. Can you remember how much you paid the mechanic for the repair? And have you had any other problems since then or has everything remained smooth since the repair?

(Translated from German)

Hey, sure, I still remember the repair costs. It was exactly €475 to repair the defective footwell module. Since then I haven't had any more problems, everything is running fine. And the problem with the "brake light signal implausible" was also fixed, it was probably related to that. I hope this helps you and you'll soon have no more trouble with your Opel!

Great, thank you very much for your help! It's good to know that repairing the footwell module has solved the problem. 475 is not exactly cheap, but safety always comes first. I hope I'll soon have no more worries about the brake light. Wish you continued good driving with your Opel, thanks again!
