[Tigers] Brake Light Switch

[Donald S Antilla]

Same problem on my (former) Series 200 Griffith. I got a mechanical switch, fabricated a bracket that fit inside my pedal box, and then bought wire with the correct color codes on it, and wired the mechanical switch in parallel with the flakey hydraulic switch.

I've had yet another brake pressure switch fail. On my Alpine, I built a bracket and made a mechanical switch. These all seem to go bad after not long enough.


Any thoughts on if a "bad" switch can be cleaned and fixed? Or if any particular brand is better at lasting than another?  I don't feel like building another bracket just now.


I also see I happen to have another new switch. But it's a single wire. I'll have to look at the wiring diagram to see if that could possibly work. Probably not.
