That's much easier: Pop the connector out and screw the old switch out. One of my other references shows it as a switch that's threaded into a bracket and has only two wires going to it. Be patient, use a few choice cusswords to convince it you're stronger and better (make sure no young ears are around first) and wiggle up and down and back and forth as you pull. If this is the baby we're talking about, it simply clips in and out.ĭisconnecting the harness at that angle isn't going to be easy. But it could also be that those clips have bolts to secure them. The picture leads me to believe that it is simply clipped to the pedal and bracket. My reference material simply states: If the switch fails this test, replace it and gives no procedure for it. Seriously, it's not easy to get to, even for someone that's small. In this video we wire a turn signal, brake light, parking light and hazard light switch (4-way flasher) circuit. I'm going to presume that you mean the one on the brake pedal. Go to the below link for an additional discussion on this: Be careful to disconnect the small cable that goes to the shift indicator - or you'll break it and compound your problem. It has only two nuts and it makes the switch much more accessible. I will use the forum again and I will donate next time.Īlso, anyone changing this switch, you can save yourself a LOT of trouble by dropping the steering column down. So I know this is the right switch for that year but it probably covers several years including the '96 that you just mentioned. I have no idea how I did this but, once again, I screwed something up.īy the way, I went to a different vender (Checkers as opposed to NAPA) and they also pulled the same switch. I took it off again, found the problem, fixed it and reinstalled it. In this position, it was not pushing on the slide-switch properly and therefore, would not engage the stop lights. When I installed the new switch, somehow I cocked the gold trigger - it came out of it holder. I ordered the diode from Amazon and it wont be in until Wednesday but if someone finds a flaw with my logic I`m happy to hear it.OK boys and girls. Ill let you know my results when it comes in. Here is a guide to help with the brake light switch replacement guide and wiring to help fix the problem. if wiring is good than suspect faulty turn signal switch as the brake light wiring runs through the signal switch. if new switch didnt fix issue than check wiring.

I believe now I need to install it pointing toward the indicator light this way power cant back feed to the tail light. Make sure you have switch adjusted correctly. What I`m thinking now is i need another Diode but in the line that feeds the brake indicator light. This is only on the right hand side of the truck and only when connected to the camper. take the foot off the brake (in the camper) and the turn signal operates properly again. when the right turn signal is on and i hit the brakes the turn signal on the truck stops blinking.

at first it seemed like everything was working properly but after a full run thru. I ended up running a wire from the front of the truck to the back tail light and tied it in before the diodes for turn signals and brake lights. Find which fuse governs the brake light circuit and check that the fuse is passing current. If the input terminal lights, but not the output, the switch is faulty. Probe the switch input and output terminals. My camper has the light on the dashboard of the camper, and the signal is sent thru the umbilical using the blue brake signal wire. If the lamp now lights the problem lies in the bulbholder no light means you have to check further back.
