I’ve replaced that….(mine is non servo)
I think you will find that particular unit is the brake failure warning switch, the idea being if one circuit fails the internal shuttle moves to one side so you still have half the brakes working and the shuttle moving activates the warning switch, old school stuff and not seen one for ages.
So in answer to your question, no it should not effect brake lights.
Where exactly is your brake switch located?
What model of series is it?

Mine is non servo so only switch is behind da pedal. Can’t understand how there’s not voltage at the wires attaching to the pedal switch. Stumped

Guages etc ok, similarly, am wondering if there’s a bad connection where the power wires for the brake switch are connected into the main feed from the battery……
So long as it's fused
Wheres the excitement in that!
Tightly coil the wire around the accelerator linkage for a couple of inches then, so it doesn't get caught up on anything

Right. Power restored at brake pedal switch, problem was in the fuse box, a combo of a **** ton of Sahara dust I hadn’t removed and fuse pin terminhale a bit wide making an intermittent contact. Switch at pedal operates circuit when activated, so that’s fine, but no power at the brake lights, so must be a bad wire between pedal switch and light. Will sort when back from hols! Along with a new fuse box…..hopefully should be reasonably straightforward
I was more thinking exhaust downpipe, the extaraheat might just increase the gas flow, so you can drive faster to escape the fireTightly coil the wire around the accelerator linkage for a couple of inches then, so it doesn't get caught up on anything
Chassis loom offside rear where it comes out of the chassis.
