Brake Light Switch

[Guest memorandum]

Please forgive me,,,,,,,I have a non-working brake light switch, and i have searched lots of topics, about the switch.

 

Can I confirm, that all I do is twist the switch clockwise and out it comes.

 

 

Thank you, for all your help.

 

 

 

Cheers mike :D

I beleive thats pretty much whats needed. You will apparently need the patience of a saint and the persistance of a mother-in-law as well as stick plasters for your bleeding knuckles :D

 

Good luck - JB

Thanks, johnb, maybe i should get the motherinlaw to change the switch :lol: :D :lol:

Although it's advisable to change it :D as it will fail again :D have you tried resetting it? the old style switches can be reset :lol: push the pedal down to it's maximum travel, then pull the plunger out of the switch to it's maximum length, then release the pedal and thats it done :lol: if this works it should last you a couple of days till you can replace it!

I changed the switch in my fiesta on sunday. Piece of cake to change (however i do have skinny little hands.)

Just twist it about a quater of a turn and it will lift out, it comes out enough for you to see what your doing when un plugging it.

Then plug the new one in slot it back into the hole. Hold the pedal at the top and push the switch as far down as it will go before turning it again to secure it in position. Then start your engine and get someone to watch the lights as you test it.

I assume it will be the same.

The Gal is just 'slightly' less accessible than a Fiesta ;)

 

Thanks for your input though.

And not made by Ford either!

 

How many sticking plasters was the job in the end?

Dunno, I haven't done mine, still under warranty :D I have looked though and it's not ideal.
