I replaced the brake light switch as they are pretty common to go bad.

Its a 1993 Del Sol S, non ABS.

Any other ideas on what to check?

 

 

The brake pedal is pushing in the switch fully with no problem .

 

possible switch is faulty

 

Unplug the switch. Do the lights then go out?

 

Did the penny trick and that fixed it. Good thing I only paid like $10 for the new switch.

 

But, isn't the switch able to be adjusted closer to the brake arm? My plastic part on the brake arm broke (22yrs old) so I am using the penny trick, until I can put a small bolt through the hole, and adjust the switch to a new position.

 

The piece that goes into the brake pedal itself was missing. Attached a penny to cover the hole.

 

Exactly what I am doing currently.later,I want to put something through the hole as well, so it won't fall off like a taped penney does.

 

As Black R said above. Replace the rubber stopper. You are missing this.




Go get one from your local dealer.
