Re: IML: Brake Light Switch on '56

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

I should also mention that with the switch at the bottom of the 
resevoir, its possible that the only the resevoir needs to be cleaned 
out. Brakes are so important that it is vital to be certain that 
everything is very clean through out, meaning that skipping anything 
that might be suspect isn't really an option. Good luck!

Paul, 
 
The switch works. It just doesn't turn the lights on until the pedal is 
near the bottom of it's travel and the car is either completely stopped 
or you're in the middle of a panic stop. It had been much better after 
I first replaced it and bleed the air out not only through the lines 
but also at the switch by loosening it and letting it drip out a few 
drops before retightening it. While the level in the reservoir is still 
within limits and the brakes themselves work well, the lights are no 
longer coming on soon enough. Where else could I look??

I hate to say this, but I have never had a problem with air in the=20 
switch. Every one I have ever replaced worked immediately, and I 
have=20 
done a lot of them. I have also adapted incorrectly threaded=20 
substitutes when necessary by adding a fitting to the master 
cylinder=20 
still with no trouble. If you can't make the lights work with the=20 
original type switch, I would be looking else where for the problem.
