Short of switching back to Girling fluid, has anyone else out there had this problem? Is there another switch that will work that will fit the thread down there, or has someone found a mechanical sto

I haven't gone out to the garage to poke my head under the hood to look around -- too darned cold out there, but it seems to me that cutting the main line from the master cylinder, putting in a T, an

I'm having a problem getting my brake lights to work. Question: when I take the wires off the brake light switch, shouldn't one of them have power? I have a new switch that I haven't installed yet,

Where exactly is the brake light switch on a Mk1A? The guy that's doing my motor has my shop manual and I haven't been able to reach him. Thanks. Tym McDowell

The switch is mounted to the distribution valve (brass) on the inside fenderwell by the generator, just under it, they do go bad, Rick @ Sunbeam has new ones, do not use an off the shelf one, as the

The brake light switch is a hydraulic switch mounted in the brake union on the right inner fender under the generator. Its sticking straight out at you. If you are careful you can remove it without

My brake light switch has packed it in. I can order one and get it in a few days, but would like to drive the car safely sooner. Does anyone know of any other lucas switches this crosses over to? May

I have some old Beck Arnley catalogs and it lists # 201-0130; previous B/A # 161.014 for the stop light switch. This part is also listed for: Volvo 544, 122S, P-1800 (B-18 eng) 1962/68 Jaguar All mo

I would be suspicious of the Beck-Arnley listing. When I checked their catalog it showed the 201-0130 brake light switch as being appropriate for series I Jaguar XKE and I know from experience that t

I think what we have here is a "YMMV" situation. I am still using the brake light switch that was in the car when I got it in 1977, and I've had silicon in the car over a decade, no problems. Other f

Someone wrote a few years back that it was crap build up inside of the switch that caused failure and that it could somehow be cleaned rather than replaced. I've never tried cleaning one and normally

Good catch. I'm not an electrical guy so unless I'm really concentrating on it; confusion will reign. I probably have them in parallel but you are absolutely correct and I need to confirm my wiring.
