brake lite switch
1981 911sc
I have to push the brake pedal pretty far to make the brake lights go on. The Switch is on the master cylinder. Is it ajustable? Can I take it out and repair or need to replace it? If I need to take it out, are there brake fluid issues? Tx1john |

Switches are not repairable. They're easy to replace, and not that expensive.
If done right (push brake pedal down and hold w/2X4) you don't have to bleed brakes, but I would, just to be on the safe side. There may be a tiny amount of fluid dribble. Keep a rag nearby and don't get brake fluid on anything painted. Check through the archives there is a mass of posts about this very question.

There are two seperate switches on the m/c on my 86. Not sure if it is the same on yours but I assume it is. Just replace both. There is no repair of these as far as I know. Make sure to look at the switch to see if it is 2 or 3 prong. Some years had both. You can see the prongs on the side of the m/c.
You can buy them here.
