Hello All,
My YJ has the brake light switch style that attaches to the brake booster pushrod. Since my ford 8.8 swap, the brake lights no longer work properly. I've managed to get them to come on, but it practically requires standing on the brake pedal before enough motion occurs to trigger the brake lights. Loving everything except the legality here.
I've got a few questions here, hoping someone can help me out.
1: Any ideas on resolving this with the current switch? It's always been a bit stiff, and my understanding is that the bushings are commonly lost or assembled incorrectly, but I haven't been able to find solid information on replacement bushings or how to properly assemble. Also, maybe this could be adjusted with the push rod?
2: Any possibility of converting to the '94 and up style? My understanding is that the mounts are lacking, and would need to be fabricated, but it's a hard area to get pictures of, and I haven't seen any information on doing this conversion.
3: I've seen some generic brake switches that appear to trigger based on pulling a spring. Seems like this might mount easily, but has anyone else used this style?
