brake light switch - Magenta Sunset - 04-10-2015
Hi all,
there's probably a thread on here already, but what's the best way to access this switch for fitting a lock nut or something?
Mine keeps working out of adjustment, so pressing the clutch flickers the brake lights. - it has a small tie-wrap round it at the mo'
thanks - -

They are just a push fit. Best to drop the steering column and then access is a lot easier to it to check its in right

When I replaced mine I dropped the steering column and pulled out the drivers air venting. Heat access and you can use the vent hole to actually see what you are doing/give it an extra hand from behind

Fuel tank out, 2 fuel elbows, drive shaft on a primera, all better than this stupid switch.
Took 2 of us over an hour in the freezing cold last year.

It really isn't that bad to do if you drop the steering column. I did the switch on ferry's car at FCS this year

thinking, if I gat at it, I will extend the wiring and drill in a H/D footswitch into the brake pedal itself. :/
