Anyone installed a brake light switch recently? I’ve installed a couple over the past few years, but the light doesn’t come on unless you have reasonable weight on the pedal. Thats an issue in traffic where generally you only lightly touch the brakes. It got my thinking that I missed a step during the install.
I have a new genuine switch and have been reading up on the installation procedure ( previous ones I’ve just installed without much thought).
The procedure talks about pulling out the plunger completely. How much force is required? Light force isn’t enough, but I’m uneasy about using a pair of grips to pull it out and find out it’s fooked for good.
Anyone else pulled out the plunger?? How much force??
