I have been troubleshooting dysfunctional brake lights on '75 TR6. If I
bypass the brake light switch I have good illumination. I removed the switch
to check it's function. The switch (plunger) moves about 3/8 inch. The
circuit does not close until the plunger has traveled 5/16 inch. Because the
plunger must travel so far to enable the lights to work, they never do.
When I read Dan Masters' troubleshooting, it seems the slightest pedal
movement should cause the lights to function.
Have I made the correct assumption? If yes, is it possible to fix the switch
or is it best to replace it?
