seatkid Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) According to this http://www.auto-parts.spb.ru/cat/au/au.mycat?SelPg&t=EjCLKdgwiymdMIspUGrjECNx0g9Baap/UpaLKT1vCxkSMIlW8hKPJRIGzTESEIujH2R3M7bNzLwUIREkJqvBKXowuOjCcA88XozewubclUfx1F4yexX2MFIMh_lyrVf3M9jpOLo8oeZ2hEHfDDuPcZF8LC2EZfkZ6_I/egW7WTsUcf1orNoV7uPg90kD8E0o/m1CPfNyy6xLMhM= Its either 191 945 515 B (if 2 pin switch) or 1J0 945 511 A (if 4 pin switch) Search on ebay, e.g. the first one is available cheap from Lincolnaudi (via ebay) Try GSF car parts - tip - their ebay store is usually cheaper Edited May 12, 2013 by seatkid Quote
mrben Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Posted May 14, 2013 Hello all/seatkid. This seems to be what happens to brake light switch/s, pictures should be above. One side of the copper strips seems to soot up, fouling the connection. As for the ratchet system, i cant understand that, as when you take your foot off the brake, the ratchet gets pushed all the way back in anyway!... Quote
mrben Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Posted May 14, 2013 Also, number was spot on seatkid. (the four pin one, but when you take it apart, it seems only the two middle pins are doing anything?) Quote
seatkid Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 Ratchet is the adjustment mechanism. Should be a one way system. The 4 pin device has two switches, one goes to the brake lights, the other to the ecu (for various uses inc cruise control cancel) Quote
mrben Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Posted May 14, 2013 Ahh right i see. Mine hasn't got cruise control so that would explain it. Thanks. Quote
