Brake Light Switch: Service and Repair

Stoplamp Switch









Removal and Installation

NOTICE: Do not press, pull or otherwise move the brake pedal while removing or installing the stoplamp switch. The switch must be installed with the booster push rod attached to the brake pedal and with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Installing the switch with the brake pedal in any other position results in incorrect adjustment and damage to the switch.

1. NOTICE: The switch plunger must be compressed for the switch to rotate in the bracket. Attempting to remove the switch with the plunger extended (during brake pedal apply) results in damage to the switch.

Rotate the stoplamp switch clockwise approximately one-eighth turn and remove the stoplamp switch.

- Disconnect the electrical connector.

2. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
