- Remove the brake lamp switch from bracket. See Fig 1 . To do so, rotate the brake lamp switch in a counterclockwise direction approximately 30 degrees from its proper mounting position. Pull the switch rearward and remove it from it's mounting bracket.
- Hold the brake lamp switch firmly in one hand. Using your other hand, pull outward on the plunger of the switch until it has ratchetted out to its fully expanded position.
- Mount the brake lamp switch into the mounting bracket. Depress the brake pedal as far down as possible. Install the switch in it's bracket by aligning the index key on switch with the notch in the square mounting hole of the mounting bracket. See Fig 1 . Once the switch is fully seated, rotate the switch clockwise approximately 30 degrees to lock the switch into the bracket.
- Gently pull back on the brake pedal until the pedal stops moving. This will cause the switch plunger to ratchet backward to the correct position.
- Check for proper operation of the brake lamps and cruise control.
