How’s it going first time using the Forum. I’m wondering if someone could help me. I’m having a problem with my 2019 RZR 4 1000 turbo. I’m having to push the brake pedal extremely hard to get car to start. Brake lights also do not work until you push the brake pedal extremely hard. Anyone experience these issues? I would appreciate any ideas.

Hard on the Brakes

Welcome!
The brake switch is usually the culprit for the problem you have. Most models have the switch on the master cyl. Hydraulic pressure activates the switch. Disconnect the switch and jump the connector and the stop lamps should come on and the machine should start. Consult your service manual for proper diagnosis and replacement.

Does it do it every time? or does it once and will be fine until you drive it some distance? You could have a bad/loose wheel bearing, bent rotor, or loose castle nut. These would cause the calipers to get opened up as you drive, and you'd have to overcome that before any brake pressure would be built.
If you have a soft pedal, it's probably not the brake switch, the brake switch just senses pressure built into the system, you're not building pressure to begin with, so you have an actual problems in the hydraulic system. Could really be anything in the system, but I'd check your fluid level first, check to make your pads are adjusted properly first, then bleed the brakes and see if that changes anything.
If it has lost fluid, you have a leak, if the fluid looks very dark or smells burnt, you've burnt the fluid and may need to change numerous components, but a complete fluid flush would be a place to start. Check all calipers for anything abnormal, open bleed screws, worn pads, binding, etc. If everything else checks out, then you're left with the master cylinder.

RWB713- thanks for the info. The brakes work fine when I’m driving, pedal feels good all the time. The only issue I have is that I have to press the brakes real hard to trigger the brake pressure switch which allows it to start and activate the brake lights.
Well it’s fixed. I unplugged the brake pressure switch blew it out and plugged it in all good!
Thanks for all the help.??
