@MontyChambers did you do the Nanocom check (not while driving) on the two inputs ? No point in replacing the switch unless you're sure it's broke !!
The RAVE procedure had a missing bit between 7 & 8. It should be:
7. Extend switch plunger fully.
7a. Hold brake pedal down.
8. Fit switch & then release brake pedal.
That way the pedal sets the plunger correctly when you release the pedal.

When I remove the switch the Nanocom reads sw 1 closed sw 2 open. When depressing the plunger I can feel it switching halfway and again fully depressed.
When I reattach the switch the reading is both closed when depressed,
Replacement ordered.

the brake switch was toast, felt like it was full off grit!

I fitted the new brake switch as per RAVE
Readings are:
Close/Close
Close/Open
Open/Open
I must be missing something here?
ABS/TC dash lights still on.
Did I fit the bulb correctly
The dash lights only came on after I fitted new ABS sensors, brake calipers, ball joints, dust shields, and track rod to the front wheels.
The MOT has become a distant dream over mountains of cash!

Check again with Nanocom, but wait a second or two for both to register. Not sure which is sw-1 & sw-2 from RAVE diagram.
Pedal released - Pin 3 open & pin-2 closed.
Pedal pressed - Pin-3 closed & pin-2 open.
There might be a mid point in the switch travel where you get open-open or closed-closed, but only if the switch is not correctly set.
