Brake Light Switch: Adjustments

STOP LAMP SWITCH ADJUSTMENT




1. With the brake pedal in the fully released position, ensure that the stop lamp plunger is fully depressed against the brake pedal shanks.
2. Fully insert the stop lamp switch and the cruise control switch, if equipped, into the brake pedal bracket.
3. Push the brake pedal forward in order to set the brake push rod into the booster.




4. Pull the brake pedal to the rear, against the internal stop. This adjusts both the stop lamp switch and the cruise control switch.

NOTE: Proper stoplamp switch adjustment is essential. Improper stoplamp switch adjustment may cause brake drag, heat buildup and excessive brake lining wear.

5. Inspect the stop lamp switch for proper adjustment.
