REMOVAL

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.





1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Locate the brake lamp switch (3) on the pedal bracket (2) to the right of the steering column (1) underneath the instrument panel.
3. Disconnect the wire harness connector (4) from the brake lamp switch.
4. Depress the locking tab (arrow) on the brake lamp switch body and rotate the switch clockwise about 30 degrees to align the tabs on the switch locking collar with the keyed hole in the brake pedal bracket.
5. Pull the switch straight back from the keyed hole to remove it from the bracket.
6. Remove the brake lamp switch from the vehicle.
