2. Brake Light switch installation.

Photos are in the Yahoo sparrow_ev group photo section under Improvements-brake switch ver2.

The switch is mounted to a bracket on the right end of the brake pedal assembly. The switch makes contact with the brake linkage bracket. I had to install new bolts that are 5/16 - 28 x 1 instead of the original 5/16-28 x 3/4. The switch was purchased from Advanced Auto parts for $2.99. Part number SLS62 made by BWD Automotive (made in USA).

The bullet connectors were cut from the wires going to the pressure switch and a wire was added to the bundle of blk/wht (12V). The blue .157 bullet connectors are available at Advanced Auto, Pep Boys and Auto Zone. The power wires were reattached to the pressure switch. The new wire went to one side of the new switch. The two white wires were separated and a determination of which one went to the brake light. The one going to the computer was terminated and reattached to the pressure switch. The wire going to the brake light was spliced to the wire going to the new switch.

The pressure system operates normally and now it only takes a small movement of the brake pedal to light the brake lights. The amount of movement needed is adjustable with the switch mounting.
