Stop light/ clutch switch
Does anyone know if the stop light switch is the same as the clutch pedal switch as I am getting an intermittent fault on my 51 plate V6 conn se. My brake lights occasionally stay on for a short while after I have stopped braking, I believe the fault to be the switch and was hoping to put the clutch switch on the brake pedal to test this theory.
I have adjusted the switch but the problem was not resolved |

Clutch switch as on cruise control I guess?
The brake switch is a proximity device. There are no contacts as such. The Haynes manual describes the way to adjust it. Has that not worked? TC |

I too have the same problem from time to time. Adjusting it works for a while, but if you note the instructions state to hold the pedal down, push the switch through the sleeve and then let the pedal back up gently. It states that letting the pedal up too quickly will result in the switch being incorrectly adjusted. The trouble is, I can be gentle while I'm adjusting the switch, but during sharp braking I can't be, so it probably moves again. I've considered adjusting it and then locking it in position somehow, but havent got round to it yet. |
