Removal
1. The brake light switch sensor is secured to the foot brake pedal bracket using a lock nut.
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
If your car stereo system is equipped with a security code, make sure you have the correct combination to activate the audio system before disconnecting the battery!
3. Disconnect the electrical wiring from the brake light switch sensor.
4. Loosen the lock nut and remove the switch sensor from the pedal bracket.
Installation
1. Install the new switch sensor onto the foot brake pedal bracket, screw on and lightly tighten the lock nut.
2. Adjust the position of the sensor-switch so that the distance between its body and the pedal is 0.5÷1.0 mm - to turn off the brake lights, the plunger of the sensor-switch must rest against the pedal. When the pedal is depressed, the plunger is released, which causes the brake lights to operate.
3. While holding the sensor switch in the required position, tighten the lock nut securely.
4. Connect the electrical wiring to the sensor switch.
5. Check the proper functioning of the sensor switch by turning on the ignition (do not start the engine) and asking an assistant to press the foot brake pedal several times - the brake lights should definitely work with each press already at the beginning of the pedal stroke.
6. If necessary, repeat the adjustment process.
Note: A slight play in the pedal should not cause the switch sensor to operate in order to avoid unauthorized activation of the brake lights when the vehicle is moving on an uneven road surface.
