Why do my brakes lock up when I turn?

Why does my car not start when I press the brake?
The ikey uses the brake switch to tell if you’re pressing the brake when trying to start the car. So if your brake lights are still coming on then the switch is working and it’s probably the battery. If the brake lights aren’t coming on then its most likely the brake switch (cheap part that several have had to replace).
What causes the brake pedal to lock up before starting the car?
If you shut off the engine on the car and pump the brake pedal a few times, it will bleed out (the vacuum?) and the brake becomes very stiff to press down. Therefore in order to start the car you would have to really step on the pedal. My wife ran into similar issue too a few months ago. Good to know!
What does it mean when your car won’t start?
