I am trying to repair non-working brake lights.
This morning, I opened the pedal board, and inspected the switch. It looksto be in good shape. I cleaned some sticky stuff off the "washer" that contacts the switch, and now the brake lights work about 1 out of 3 times that I push the pedal. Can the switch or anything around it be adjusted? It looks like the "washer" moves away from the switch arm when the brake pedal is depressed, and this is supposed to activate the lights. Is it possible to lubricate the switch? I am wondering if the switch is somehow sticking, and not activating properly. (not releasing when the "washer" moves away??) I am really stumped, and my next step was going to be to just buy a new repalcement switch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '76 Malaga Red |
