Fiat 500 stop/break switch (Hill holder not working)

[Seureth]

Hello everyone,

I have a Fiat 500 1.4 sport 2008 that kept displaying the "Hill holder / ESP not available" message that we traced to a faulty stop switch (multiecuscan even showed the error message).

Now, before the replacement, the dashboard light would go off immediately after starting the car and the message would be displayed.

I bought a new switch and replaced the old one (which had an obvious issue with the moving press-pad). I connected multiecuscan and reset the error.

However, even though the error light is not on when I start the car it always comes back up after a 5min drive.

Any suggestions on what the actual issue might be?

There are at least TWO pedal switches. One detects bottom of travel reached/released and one at top of travel that drives the break light etc.

Ooooh, i didn't know that!

I swapped this one here which is located behind the pedal itself and is visible if you crouch down
