To replace the stop lights switch, closely follow the procedure below:
Dismantling
- Disconnect the electrical connections block;
- withdraw the switch, turning it anti-clockwise by about 60°;
This operation is facilitated if a wrench is used on the hexagonal section (1) in the central figure.
Refitting
- Fit the new switch complete with bush (2) and spacer (3) in its seating (4) as follows:
- hold the brake pedal depressed, then fit the new switch in the engagement position on the bracket (4);
- turn the switch by about 60° clockwise to the limit of its travel. The retaining lug (5) should be heard engaging in its seating (6).
Regulation
- Release the brake pedal to the rest position; the switch will be positioned automatically in relation to the bush (2);
- press the pedal so that the working spacer (3) used as protection during adjustment can be removed and scrapped.
NOTE The working spacer (3) releases an inner stop lug which prevents any further movement between the switch and bush (2).
REVERSING LIGHTS SWITCH
- Disconnect the connector indicated and undo the gearbox switch, taking care to avoid leakage of oil.
