[Tigers] Brake light switch

[Ron Fraser]

Jay, exactly right; this is a safety issue everyone should check.

 

I once had a stock switch that took all I could muster on the brake pedal to activate; fortunately I do a safety check of the brake lights in the garage before driving.    

 

I read somewhere that Harley Davidson had a pressure switch that was compatible with silicon brake fluid but I did not find a part number and I have not followed up on the subject.

 

I installed a switch on the brake pedal when I installed a cruise control unit which it required.

 

Safety first.

I have been thinking of writing again. I wanted to emphasize that the problem the stock ‎pressure switch is not complete failure, but progressively more pressure needed.  To the point that it really needs firm pressure. I want those lights on the second I touch the pedal. So when you check if your brake lights go on, note how much pressure you need.
