STOPLAMP Switch
CAUTION:
Proper stoplamp switch adjustment is essential. Improper stoplamp switch adjustment may cause brake drag, heat buildup and excessive brake lining wear. Apply the proper amount of force to the brake pedal during adjustment. Too much force may damage the vacuum booster. Too little force may cause the brakes to drag.
NOTE:
Adjust the cruise control release switch and the stoplamp/TCC switch at the same time.
- Remove left side insulator panel. See INSULATOR PANEL (LEFT SIDE) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Adjust the cruise control clutch switch (4) or the cruise control clutch anticipate switch (6) (if equipped) after the clutch pedal is installed. See Fig 1 . Depress the brake or the clutch pedal.
- Insert the following switches into the pedal with the bracket until the retainers on the switches are fully seated: Cruise control release switch (2), stoplamp/TCC switch (3), cruise control clutch switch (4), or cruise control clutch anticipate switch (6), if equipped. See Fig 1 .
- Slowly pull the brake or clutch pedal rearward with a force of 50 lbs. (22.7 kg.) until clicking sounds are no longer heard. At this point, the retainers on the switches will be adjusted.
- Measure the cruise control release switch (2). Measure the stoplamp and TCC switch (3). See Fig 1 . The switch contacts should be open at 1.0" (25.4 mm) or less pedal travel. The switch contacts should occur at the same time or before the onset of braking. The brake pedal travel can be up to 1.0" (25.4 mm) before the cruise control system disengages.
