1997 Acura Integra 1.8 L 4-cylinder 117,500 miles So my brake lights stay on, whether I'm hitting the pedal or not, and they stay on when the car is off. In the meantime I keep the battery disconnected. Just before this problem started, I got a Maintenance required, the code given was P1297: ELD voltage low. I'm wondering if these things are connected, coincidental, or indicative of a larger problem? Thanks

Look at where the brake switch plunger contacts. There should be a little pad. Those pads are known for crumbling apart. More than likely the ELD is bad in the fuse panel which was common. pedal stopper ELD: Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

The brake lights are fixed, replaced the plastic bumper, but 'm having issues with the ELD. I want to replace it but I can't find just the ELD, been to two shops and they say I have to buy a new fuse box, which they don't sell. I was also told this could mean my alternator is the problem and not my ELD, I'll try to test my alternator with a voltmeter. What's the best place to find a ELD or failing that a new fuse box? I've seen them on ebay only so far, and I try to avoid ebay.

I'm afraid the dealer will be your only option on a new one. You could always roll the dice on a used one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
