Brake Light Switch Again

[kezza20]

changed brake light switch less than 3 years ago and done just over 20,00 miles and its gone again.

surely they should last longer than that.

has anyone else had the same problem ?

it is a geniune ford part as we tried the universal ones last time only to find they dont last long as they are slightly shorter.

its really driving me crazy

think ford should replace them free of charge as its a common fault

did you pull the plunger out to reset it?????

 

also iirc think vw was cheaper then fords.

yeah was pulled out fully, lasted nearly 3 years so cant be due to that, we tried pulling it out again and refitting and spraying with wd40 but no joy.

 

ive put a universal one on so i can use car over weekend, as main dealers cant get one til monday.

 

shall check vw out before buying one though thanks for that.

 

my galaxy must of been built on a nightshift or friday lol

 

had loads of common faults i.e fuel relay, wiper linkage and wiring loom in boot broke to name but a few.

 

thinking of getting rid of it had that many problems
