Brake Light Switch: Service and Repair




Stoplamp Switch









Removal and Installation

NOTICE: Do not press, pull or otherwise move the brake pedal while installing the stoplamp switch and cruise control deactivation switch. Install these switches with the booster push rod attached to the brake pedal and with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Installing these switches with the brake pedal in any other position results in incorrect adjustment and damages the switches.

1. NOTE: The stoplamp switch is located above the cruise control deactivation switch (if equipped).

Rotate the stoplamp switch clockwise approximately one-eighth turn to remove the stoplamp switch.

2. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
- Perform the brake pedal switch adjustment. For additional information, refer to Vehicle Dynamic Systems Service and Repair.
