KMP600 v3.0 is almost complete.

Pictures or it never happened.

Hey rodneym:

Years ago I purchased this low pressure switch over here on the right coast.

My old one hadn't failed, but the pressure required to activate it was high enough that folks would sometimes pull beside me and tell me my brake lights weren't working.

*ding ding ding* Prize goes to David!

I saw the Ron Francis unit but that connector is a bit funky.
What I can't seem to find is a low pressure, exact fit replacement.
I'm think I'm gonna have to 'give in' to different terminals.
Oh well, simple enough for this shade tree McGruber.

Thanks!

rodneym,
I initially had the same impression re: the connector. But....when I installed it and made the connection, it proved to be solid. I've had no issues with it for five or six years!
