Today I noticed that my brake lights don't come on until the pedal is maybe 3/4 depressed, maybe more. It seems from the thread below and comment that maybe I just need to adjust the switch to be activated with less brake pedal travel? The switch is original.
Also, anything else in there I should be replacing so long as I have it opened up? Maybe even replacing the 50-year old switch? 74 1.8L Thanks! http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=338714 Post #9: "...The brake switch only makes contact and closes the circuit when it reaches the absolute end of stroke, which is set using the locknut/screw on the switch, I have mine adjusted so that the washer pulls away from the switch arm and actuates the lights just the tiniest bit before I start to feel any resistance from the brake pedal." |
