Brake Light Switch: Adjustments

NOTICE: Proper stoplamp switch adjustment is essential. Improper stoplamp switch adjustment may cause brake drag, heat buildup and excessive brake lining wear.

With the brake pedal in the fully released position, ensure that the stoplamp plunger is fully depressed against the brake pedal shanks.





1. Insert the stoplamp switch into the brake pedal bracket.
2. Push the brake pedal forward in order to set the brake push rod into the booster.
3. Pull the brake pedal to the rear, against the internal stop. This adjusts the stoplamp switch.





4. Inspect the stoplamp switch for proper adjustment.
