[6pack] Brake Light Switch

[Foster, Stan]

Bob, Re the switch, below is one recent thread. I tried to buy one of these SL
310's the other day at my local NAPA store in Nashua, NH. They wanted over $20
which I might have agreed to had they not also told me that I would have to
pay the UPS charges to have it shipped to the store. I decided to go for the
$6 cheap plastic switch from Moss and try not to use the brakes as much in
future :-).

NAPA still has them under that part number SL310 for about $25 but Moss
lists the TR6 brake light switch for $6. I guess I missed that whole thread
about the switch.

There was quite a bit of traffic on this topic but I recall that this NAPA
part number was mentioned:

The  NAPA/Echlin part number for the Honda brake light switch is SL310. I
have had  one in my car since 1998. When I bought it, it was a stock part at
my NAPA.

I just noticed that my brake lights don't turn off......unless I pull the
pedal back that last 1/8" with my foot. When I stick my head in the foot
well, press & release the pedal, I can feel that it wants to come back that
last smidge which is what turns the lights off. The spring is good. The only
thing different is a rebuilt servo. Does this indicate a bad or failing
switch? I remember a thread on here last year about a better quality
replacement switch. I think it was from a Honda. Does anyone have the info
on that?

Thanks

Bob
