STOPLAMP Switch

CAUTION: Proper stoplamp switch adjustment is essential. Improper stoplamp switch adjustment may cause brake drag, heat buildup and excessive brake lining wear.
NOTE: Adjust the stoplamp switch and the cruise control switch at the same time.
  1. With the brake pedal in the fully released position, ensure the stoplamp plunger is fully depressed against the brake pedal shanks. See Fig 1 .
  2. Fully insert the stoplamp switch and the cruise control switch (if equipped) into the brake pedal bracket.
  3. Push the brake pedal forward in order to set the brake push rod into the booster. See Fig 2 .
  4. Pull the brake pedal to the rear, against the internal stop. This adjusts both the stoplamp switch and the cruise control switch.
  5. Inspect the stoplamp switch for proper adjustment. See Fig 1 .
