My brake lights have stopped working. I have narrowed the problem down to the brake pedal switch. Question is does anyone know if its 'simply' a case of replacing the switch or is there an adjustment that should be checked first? There is a threaded plunger coming out of the switch which abuts to a lever on the pedal mechanism. Pressing the brake pedal, doesn't seem to generate any discernable movement on the plunger. Could this be the problem?

Needless to say none of this is at all accessible so changing out the switch doesn't look easy. Any tips from anyone before I destroy all of my nuckles???

Thanks

Donny

Swap the switch out, it’s not an expensive part, so not worth buggering about with.

As for making the job easier, I've got a pair of glasses with the torches on the side for this sort of job . . . .and yes I look even more ridiculous than normal when wearing them!

Agreed. Switch ordered. Sounds like I need some of those specs to fit it though ......

Thanks for the advice. Replaced the switch (stuck plunger)and all sorted now. Great service from eurospares. Easy web site to use and exploded diagrams of parts made ordering a doddle. Part arrived next day and didn't feel I was being ripped off on the cost.
