    94 Acura Integra Brakes Locking-up
    Hello I have a 94 Acura Integra and just recently my brake light wouldn't go off and my husband said the brake petal was not reaching the button to make the light go on so he did something to fix that and not the lights turn on when you push the brake hard. Well I drove the car and now after you drive it the brake's start locking up. When you start the car everything is fine but as you drive the brake petal starts going down causing the car to slow down cause it thinks the brakes are on. I am wondering if anyone has any idea's and also if maybe this has something to do with the brake light switch? Please let me know any idea's.

    Thanks

    Don't know of anything electrically or brake switch problem that could cause brake problem. Did he only work under steering column, at brake swich. If light wouldn't go off, should unplug at brake pedal switch, if light goes out, it IS Switch Problem or adjustment.
    You adjust the switch, not the brakes. Ask what he worked on.
    Pedal creaping down on its own is strange. If it feels like all brakes are dragging, may need a Master Cylinder. Didn't use to be too expensive.

    Is the pedal return spring connected?
