My first post here, but some of you may recognize me from K11OG site.
I am having frustrating issues with the rear brake light switch. I went so far as to replace it last winter, but it still hangs. I tested the old switch with a meter and it's working fine.
I finally got it to perform in my garage and found that the brass lever arm on the switch seems to be flexing. What I mean is that the arm is "L" shaped, from a front view, and my pedal pad (bolt?) is pressing on it way out toward the end of the 'foot'. Apparently sometimes this flex is enough to prevent the micro switch from closing. The switch itself seems to work. The only thing I can think of doing is to bend the leg part of the lever arm in to get it closer to the pad (bolt?) center.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I am about to start a tear down to lube the clutch splines. I will try to fix it while I have it apart. Any other suggestions?
