Removal
1. The brake light switch sensor is screwed into the top of the foot brake pedal bracket in the driver's foot well.
2. Under the instrument panel, disconnect the wiring from the top of the sensor switch.
3. Loosen the lock nut, then unscrew the switch sensor and remove it from the pedal bracket together with the washer.
Installation
1. Install the lock nut and washer onto the switch sensor, then screw the switch into the pedal bracket.
2. Connect an ohmmeter/test lamp between the terminals of the sensor switch. Screw in the sensor switch until the device registers an open circuit (infinite resistance/test lamp does not light). Smoothly depress the foot brake pedal to check for conductivity (zero resistance/test lamp is on) after just 10÷15 mm of pedal travel. If necessary, adjust the position of the sensor-switch to achieve the desired results.
3. If you don't have a measuring device at hand, the same adjustment can be made by visually registering the operation of the brake lights (ignition on) - use the help of an assistant.
4. Press the pedal, then pull the plunger of the sensor-switch outward, resting it against the pedal body. Release the pedal to install the plunger.
5. After adjusting the sensor switch, tighten the lock nut securely and connect the wiring. Check again that the brake lights are functioning properly.
