Alex,
I doscovered that mine wa doing the same thing, which caused me great concern
when I thought about the Escalade and the H2s that I often see looming in my
mirror.
I fitted an Oldsmoblie brake light switch directly to the pedal arm and
adjusted such that a touch of the pedal produces a bright brake light,
immediately. Concourse it ain't. Highly recommended. I found two pressure
switches to be woefully inadequate.

Hi all,
My 59 TR3 brake lights only come on with an excessive amount of brake pedal
pressure. In most cases the lights to not work when approaching a stop unless
I apply the brakes in the last moment with full pressure. I am assuming that
the switch is not working properly.
I am looking at two approaches to solve this obvious safety issue.
1st one is the easiest, replacing the old switch with a new one. My question
is, has anyone replaced these switches with a new one and did the new one work
with minimal pressure on the brake pedal as one would expect. Or am I going to
end up with the same result that I have now.
2nd approach would be to bypass this switch with a brake pedal mounted one
like my TR6 brake switch.
Any feedback on the TR3 replacement switch would be appreciated.
Thx,
Alex Manzo
59 TR3
72 TR6
