If the switch isn't waterproof, and has an opening of some kind into the in=
terior, you can use a couple of CRC products. First spray contact cleaner i=
nto the switch, preferably onto the contacts if they're accessible, exercis=
e the switch a couple dozen times to wear off the corrosion, let it dry, an=
d then spray in 2-26, which is an electrical contact lubricant/protectant. =
This should slow down the oxidation process on the contacts. Test with a me=
ter to verify the switch is operating normally again.

I've had yet another brake pressure switch fail. On my Alpine, I built a br=

 enough.

Any thoughts on if a "bad" switch can be cleaned and fixed? Or if any parti=
cular brand is better at lasting than another?  I don't feel like building =
another bracket just now.

I also see I happen to have another new switch. But it's a single wire. I'l=

obably not.

I have seen write ups that state the Harley Davidson brake switch is low
pressure and DOT 5 compatible.   I have no details beyond those statements
and no experience with the HD switch.

Todays traffic dictates a faster reacting brake light switch and brake
lights; safety first.   When I installed cruise control on my Tiger, I
needed a mechanical switch on the brake pedal wire in parallel with the
hydraulic switch.

I always recommend installing a switch on the brake pedal.

A mechanical switch at the pedal is much preferred and is so easy.
The wires for the brake lights are available in the loom just to the left
of the pedals and have a disconnect right there.
A cheap universal switch like for a Jeep or GM works great.  A bracket is a
scrap of metal, three holes and one bend
is all you need.
