Right, I'm getting thoroughly ****ed off with the brake light switch. It needs re-adjusting constantly and they only seem to last for a few months before they stop working altogether.
I've ordered a replacement from Paddocks but expect that will die after a few months. Its the long threaded one on the servo pedal that I've got.
So far I think I'm on my 4th or 5th, the most reliable one was the original after I'd dismantled it, cleaned up the silver disc (it was covered in arc-spots) and reassembled. I've done this a few times now.
So questions are:
- is this normal?
- would fitting a relay help
- would fitting a snubber capacitor help
- is there a more reliable replacement if the later metric ones are more reliable I'm not averse to re-tapping the hole
So far I've been lucky but quite a few people have nearly run into the back of me and its only a matter of time before some scammer gets me if it carries on like this!
