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. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></body></html>
