It also controls the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) in models with automatic transaxles and acts as the kill switch for cruise control in models with automatic transaxles. It is fitted on the clutch pedal bracket in those vehicle with cruise control and manual transaxles. The switch is located on the brake pedal support under the instrument panel /cockpit and or the drivers seat. If the brake pedal is fully released then the switch plunger should totally rest on the pedal shank and when the pedal is pressed the plunger is released and provide the electrical current to the stop lights. In cases where the stop lights are not functional, the first thing that one should do is to establish whether the light bulbs are fused. If the bulbs are good, make sure that the tubular clip fits in the brake pedal mounting perfectly well. With the brake pedal pressed down put the stop light switch in the tubular clip until the switch body is flush with the tubular clip, it is accompanied by two audible clicks from the threaded end passing through the tubular clip. To seat the switch firmly and to have the correct adjustment of the brake pedal, pull back the brake pedal with force till no more click sounds are heard and the pedal is right up to the pedal stop. Release the brake pedal and, by pressing the brake pedal again, make the previous step to ensure that no more click is heard. Make sure that the stop lights are working. If they remain nonfunctional, the electrical connectors at the stop light switch can be disconnected and the switch pulled from its retainer. Some actions require a new switch to be installed and adjusted, with wire electrical connectors connected to other parts.

To remove the brake light switch on 1994 and later models, you need to follow these steps: 1. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. 2. If necessary, remove the driver's side knee bolster. 3. Remove the retainer securing the brake switch and master cylinder pushrod to the brake pedal. 4.
