Brake light switch — adjustment (Skoda Favorit)

1. The brake light switch must be set so that the lights come on when the brake pedal is depressed 10-15 mm from its original position.

2. To access the switch, remove the lower steering column cover if necessary (Section 10), and pull back the carpet/insulation material (see photo 27.1).

3. Disconnect the wires to avoid damaging them when turning the switch. Loosen the lock nut that secures the switch and move it to a position where the lights come on at the right moment. To do this, either connect the wires and ask an assistant to check whether the brake light is on, or monitor the moment the switch circuit is closed with a multimeter. Tighten the lock nut securely and connect the wires, then turn on the ignition and check the operation of the brake lights.

4. Install all components removed to gain access.
