Brake switches and Roch NY!

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

Dan,

        Not quite.  The brake switch is made to be open when the pedal is up, 
and when you apply pressure to the pedal, it pulls the lever AWAY from the 
switch allowing it to close, and light the brake lights in the back of the 
truck.  If you take the switch out of the mounting tab and let it dangle the 
brake lights will always be ON.  If you take the switch connector off and let 
the connector dangle, the brake lights will always be OFF.  I just hope this 
helps.  The switch doesn't push to close, it's a pull to close. like a 
motorcycle.

Joe, 
   Your brake pedal is sagging and touching the switch. Take a bungee
cord and wrap around the release handle and the pedal. This will pull
the pedal up off the switch and the light will go out. OR, just take a
piece of black tape and cover the light up! <G> I did the bunge cord
thing, and I saw a few other people had this set-up at Nationals.

Chris,

        Neat to hear that you live in Roch NY!  My family lives there mostly in 
Brighton, I used to spend summers there until I was about 17.  I'd love to hang 
out.  I'll be coming out there next fall, for the Nats, and to visit family, 
etc.  Keep in touch (A year flies by really) and I can give you a ring when I'm 
out there!  I wish I knew of somewhere to 4x, sorry I can't help with that.
