Hi Everyone!!! Sweden has been cold for too long and I just took the Comet out of it´s winter hideout, Instead of embarking on a long story about weather and what I´ve been up to since last time I posted here, I need help with a very urgent question... My brake lights come on if I push the brakes very firm/light, a little harder and they go out, if I step on it with all I got (not much some might say) it comes on again, when I switched master a while back I had to loose the plastic washer that goes through the rod, because if I left it in place nothing happened at all, no brake light... but as I took the pushrod of the switch again I forgot the plastic washer and voila there was light.. Now it´s working with a light foot without the washer, but not at all with the original washer... What is going on here....? I´m in for inspection on friday and if I can´t fix this there will be no Red Comet roaring down the streets... Ok, sorry for the long explanation, bare with me I´m swedish... Any help is much appreciated!!!! Robert.
On some cars, namely Mustangs and Cougars, there is a different brake light switch between manual and disc brakes. Causes a problem like you describe. Are you sure that you have the proper switch?
To be honest I´m not sure, but how do I know, is there a way to tell or should I try to get my hands on a new one, is there a difference between years as well, I´ve seen from pictures that some of the switches have the connectors on top and some on the side..? Thank you very much!!!!!
Pictures... Here are some photos, hope it helps... have to be like that guy from fantastic 4 to get under there...
