Brake lights - V8S .... Mr Sheen?
Discussion
When I put my foot gently on the brake pedal the brake lights don't come on, they only come on when I press hard (and there was Mr BC thinking I was being a daredevil driver and not using my brakes at all on the way home the other day).
When talking to Andy on Saturday he mentioned that there is a switch of some description behind the brake pedal that you need to adjust. Now, I can't see it anywhere, and I know you generally have to be some kind of contortionist (sp?) for these things, but I'm only 5ft 4 and even I can't get my head into position to see it. I've even tried taking some photos and interogating the picture.
Can anyone give me a clue ? Pretty pretty please.
What does this thing look like ?
Edited to add, just had another look - is it the thing in front of the brake pedal ???

White plastic thingy (micro switch) with a plunger that rests on the brake pedal shaft, it is there some where. Only answer is to get on your back upsides down on the seat with a tourch.
If crawling around is not for you get your old man to scrabble about

It's round the back of the pedal. little plastic plunger thingy. it is actually depressed by the pedal arm it's self. Not sure if on your V8 it's rubber topped or just a switch. If your going tonight I'll have a route around !!!!!
