HELP - Brake Light Pedal Switch Off What??

[Colin L]

HI,
my brake light pedal switch has broken, does anyone know what its off, Vauxhall or Ford or something else???

Not good to drive with no brake lights off with it cable tied in place, hit the throttle and have them come on and stay on as I pull away.

Cheers

No idea what they are off, replaced mine a while back and only a fiver from Fernies, so may as well just get a dealer priced one

You can repair them, I did mine a couple of times but it just gave up in the end.

Think its Fiesta.. has it come in bit's?... you can mend them by putting it all back and welding the end on with a soldering iron... I kicked mine to death once going over a large hole... and after that it was always falling apart till i melted it together.. great now!

Cheers but mines broken in half only held on by cable ties lol

I got a Vauxhall & Ford dealers over the road from work so just hoping to get one & fix before the drive home from work tomorrow.

Thanks

not sure if that helps but at least you know now

Also.. lot's of nice brass ones on there as well... these look as if they may last longer... I think I'd change to one of these:-
