My hydraulic brake switch required great pressure to activate it. And it was
only a year old. This means that most times I stepped on the pedal to slow,
the light was not going on. I moved to a mechanical switch attached to the
brake pedal and now the slightest movement of the pedal gives me a brake
light.
Can't speak to the brake booster.

Subject: Brake switch-Servo problem
Hello,
I am stumped.
When I bypass the brake switch the brake lights come on which leads me to
think that the brake switch is either defective or there is not enough
pressure in the system to activate the brake switch. The brake fluid
reservoir is going down 1/4" in two hours driving. We bled the system
several times but could not get rid of a little "soft" pedal. We can find no
signs of a fluid leak. Could the servo be defective and be filling up with
fluid? I can hear it "activate when I step on the brake.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill Matthews 67 BJ8
