Any idea of what car the replacement brake light switch might be from, I'd like to try a switch that lasts at least a year. ...Art

Art, I don't know what car the switch is from but it must be a standard design. I brought the failed original to my (very helpful) local auto supply store. They glanced at it, pulled one off the shel

I replaced the original switch on my '52 TD this summer, thinking that the silicone fluid first installed in 1980 or thereabouts had caused premature failure of the brake switch this year. The switc

I'll give the auto parts store a try. I know the VW switch looks the same but the threads are metric. I have put three switches in in three years. Always the same problem, it will work when first ins

I replaced my switch 2 years ago on my TD. I found that the switch had corroded over the opening. I removed the switch and cleaned it and replaced it and all was well. I do not use silicone fluid. I

Hi Bob, Here's my .02 about your brake switch problem. Refer to your Shop Manual on Page M.4. In addition to the larger fluid flow orfice, there is a very small second hole in the bottom of the maste

I thought that I would share with you some brakelite switch/silicone brake fluid tips. The reason that this fluid causes the problem that you describe is: the silicone fluid causes therubber cup to

I'm on my second switch in 3 years on my 51 TD. The last one only lasted 9 months! I tried cleaning my old switch but to no avail. I am using silicone brake fluid and am interested to hear what every

I don't mean to insult your inteligence so I will preface this by saying: I spent an hour trying to figure out why the brake lights on my '60 MGA wouldn't work before I took it for my first inspectio
