Brake Light Switch
I have a switch in the brake line
thats pressure opperated but
only works b/light on fairly heavy braking.
Is this the norm or poss duff switch always
fear under light braking no one behind can see
im stoppin. Wondered wat others are using if a
pedal opp switch how have you mounted it.

I have a pressure operated switch for my brake lights, screwed into a "spare" port on the master cylinder, and it is *very* sensitive. The
slightest tap on the pedal puts the lights on.
Cheers

I would say the switch sounds dodgy, should come on under very light braking.

Brake light switches come in various pressure ratings... IIRC 3 bar and 7 bar. You may have the latter as our's comes on pretty easily... did
you buy it from MK?

mines the same only works under heavy breaking. can u not get an adjustable version, we have them at work on the hydraulic lines of our tipper
dropsides. its a much higher pressure but there must be other versions.
Sorry about my spelling, im an engineer and only work in numbers.

aah, have you fitted it so its above the pipe, known issue is air getting trapped here thus making it difficult to come on.
