Two unique brake lamp switches are used in this vehicle, depending upon whether the vehicle was built during early or late production. These switches are not interchangeable. Both switches are illustrated and described elsewhere in this service information to assist in positive identification.

EARLY PRODUCTION

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.

2. If equipped, remove the silencer pad from below the steering column.

3. Locate the brake lamp switch (3) on the brake pedal support bracket (2) under the instrument panel.

1. Rotate the brake lamp switch housing (2) counterclockwise about 30 degrees to align the tabs on the switch locking collar with the keyed hole in the brake pedal support bracket (1).

2. Pull the switch straight rearward from the keyed hole to remove it from the bracket.

3. Discard the removed brake lamp switch. The brake lamp switch self-adjusting plunger is a one time only feature. If the switch is removed from the bracket, it MUST be replaced with a new switch.
