Terrano brake light error

Hi, I've got a 2005 Nissan Terrano diesel with 74283 km on the clock that's throwing a brake light error. The light's out, and the infotainment system is showing an error message. The error memory also has a fault stored. I suspect it's the brake light switch, any ideas?

Summary of the thread

A 2005 Nissan Terrano was experiencing a brake light error, suspected to be caused by a faulty brake light switch. The issue was resolved by reseating the connector, which cleared the error and restored the brake light function, indicating a bad connection was the root cause. The solution was simple and cost-free.

Greetings. I seem to recall experiencing a somewhat analogous predicament with my Terrano. If memory serves, the crux of the matter revolved around a faulty automotive switch within the brake system's circuit. Did you perhaps engage in any recent maintenance procedures or modifications pertaining to the brake pedal assembly? Such actions could inadvertently precipitate disturbances within the delicate equilibrium of the switch's operational parameters.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't touched the brake pedal or anything nearby recently. Could it really be user error if nothing was done to it?

Affirmative. It is conceivable that the aberration manifests sans direct intervention. Nevertheless, in light of your assertion regarding the absence of recent modifications, it would be prudent to conduct a meticulous examination of the switch's physical integrity and electrical connectivity. Should such endeavors prove unfruitful, recourse to a qualified automotive technician for diagnostic evaluation and rectification would constitute a judicious course of action.

Thanks for the advice. I checked the switch and it seemed fine, but I reseated the connector anyway. Cleared the error and the light's back on! Seems it was just a bad connection, so cost me nothing.
