My brake lights only come on when i have the pedal all the way down on the floor. Its my daily driver so i cant have it like this it already gets enough attention from cops. Please help any info is great i dont have time to look untill i get outta work but i would like a starting point when i get out there to look at it.
I believe that the brake light switch has an adjustment on it. Its up inside by where the brake pedal connects. It should screw in or out to adjust.
I messed around with this all week (made me crazy), and I ende up removing the switch, and then removing the plastic washer that sits inside the brake pedal rod, you have to remove in this order: Connector to the switch first of all, 1 hairpin, 2 (white) plastic washer, 3 remove brake light switch, 4 plastic washer/plug inside the brake pedal rod end, this made my switch work again... Sorry for my bad english, hope someone can fill in the blanks and/or do some spellchecking... There was no adjuster on mine, but it´s the old NOS one so probably there is better switches around... Good luck!!! Robert.
Oh.. and the put everything back in reverse order except the plastic washer/plug inside the brake pedal rod end... My bad..
try putting a shim inbetween the flat plate and the pushrod for the master...when you push your brakes, the switch tilts, and the pushrod pushes one side back and it makes contact with another piece of metal...the contact is what causes the lights to light up...the shim will make it contact earlier...i would atleast try this before you take it all apart...it took me a while to get it all back together...if you do...loosen your master from the firewall a bit...the extra movement helps alot with removal and reassembely...hope this helps
