Brake Light Switch: Service and Repair

Removing And Installing Brake Light Switch

Removing brake light switch

NOTE:
- The brake light switch setting is firmly fixed and is not adjustable.
- The brake light switch may be fitted only once in order to ensure that it fits tightly.
- A new switch must be fitted if parts of the holder are replaced.

The following points must be observed during removal:
1. The pedal should be in normal position. In other words, the pedal must lie on the tappet push rod.
2. Turn the switch 45 degrees to the left and remove it.

Installing brake light switch







The following points must be observed during installation:
1. The switch plunger must be pulled out of the switch completely before fitting the switch.
2. Keep the brake pedal in an "unactuated" position, insert switch into the take-up bore and lock it by turning clockwise as far as it will go. This sets the valve push rod to the exact length.
3. Check the operation of the brake light switch.
