Good luck unscrewing the switch.  After 50 to 60 years they are corroded solid.  Maybe you'll be lucky, but not much more to buy the fitting and the switch.  Besides it gives you an excuse to bleed the brakes to replace the brake fluid if you have not done it in a few years.Mike MacLean

SO the weather today was warm enough I got a chance to finally check the brake lights. When I jumped the terminal of the 4 way brake switch they lit up. So this means the switch fail
 ed correct?  Anything I should know about swapping the switch like who to avoid buying from and will I need to bleed the brakes again once i'm done and how much brakefluid will leak out during the swap?
Thanks,
Ryan
