Installation
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Prior to installing the stop lamp switch into its bracket, the plunger must be moved to its fully extended position using the procedure
described in STEP 1.
1. Hold the stop lamp switch firmly in one hand. Using your other hand, pull outward on the plunger of the switch until it has ratcheted out to its fully
extended position.
2. Connect the wiring harness connector (1) to the stop lamp switch (2).
3. Mount the stop lamp switch into the bracket on the brake pedal assembly (6) as follows: Depress the brake pedal as far down as possible. Install
the switch in its bracket by aligning the index key on switch with the notch in the square mounting hole of the mounting bracket. Once the switch is
fully seated, rotate the switch clockwise approximately 30 degrees to lock the switch into the bracket.
CAUTION: Do not use excessive force when pulling back on the brake pedal to adjust the stop lamp switch. If to much force is used,
damage to the stop lamp switch or striker can result.
4. Gently pull back on brake pedal until the pedal stops moving. This will cause the switch plunger to ratchet backward to the correct position.
5. Check for proper operation of the brake lamps and speed control.
