Brake Signal: Service and Repair

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect wire harness from the connector on the stoplight switch.

NOTE: Locking tab on connector must be lifted before connector can be removed.

2. Remove hairpin retainer and white nylon washer. Slide stoplight switch and push rod away from brake pedal.

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the brake master cylinder push rod and one spacer washer, because the stoplight switch side plate is slotted.

3. Remove the stoplight switch by sliding switch up/down.

INSTALLATION


CAUTION: Do not substitute other types of pin retainers. Replace only with production hairpin retainer.

1. Position the stoplight switch so that the U-shaped side is nearest pedal and directly over/under pin.
2. Slide stoplight switch up and down trapping master cylinder push rod and blade bushing between switch side plates. Push stoplight switch and push rod assembly firmly toward brake pedal arm. Assemble outside white plastic washer to brake pedal pin. Install hairpin retainer to trap whole assembly.
3. Connect wire harness to the connector on the stoplight switch and install the wires in the retaining clip.

NOTE: Stoplight switch wire harness must have sufficient length to travel with switch during full stroke at pedal. If wire length is insufficient reroute, harness or service as required.
