For whatever reason, the system sucks. I have tried every type of
electronic switch out there - from the no names to the most expensive
ones. They simply do not last (I've been Sunbeaming for 40 years now).
And not just with synthetic. I gave up and built a bracket and mounted a
mechanic switch. I think someone else has a kit. I feel strongly that
it's not worth it keeping this part stock - unless you check your brake
lights against a wall or something constantly.
