I was, but I'm not convinced of the correlation. I had switched to DOT 5
many years before the first failure, and the replacements failed within a
matter of months.
Interesting that your switch has a rubber diaphragm. I cut my original
apart, and it had a steel diaphragm. There was fluif all over the place
when it came apart, but the contacts looked black and burnt so I don't
believe leaking fluid was the problem.
But, I didn't bother cutting any of the replacements apart so I don't know
what was wrong with them. Maybe the rubber ones really won't stand up to
DOT 5 ?
