I will soon change the way my brake lights are actuated. Right now they are actuated by a "plunger" switch that makes connection between the two terminals when I push on the brake pedal. That has proven to be unsatisfactory, as there are times when the contact pad becomes dislodged from its location and then when the brake pedal is released the lights continue to shine brightly.
Soon I am going to replace the brake master cylinder and will use a pressure activated switch operated by an unused port on the master cylinder.....I think that will be a more reliable manner of switching the brake lights, as I currently have to climib under the dash at least once a week to reposition the contact pad
!
As for the wiring routing....my car uses what I think is a Pinto steering column, might be a Mustang II column, I don't know. All it has is a turn signal lever on the left side of the column....but I think the wiring goes up into the column from the plunger style switch down under the dash.
Cheers!
