The brake light switch is located on the pedal bracket. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake light is activated via the switch. In addition, the brake light switch serves as a signal sensor for the ABS/EDS systems about the start of the braking process. Therefore, the correct functioning of the brake light switch is extremely important.
Removal
Caution: The brake light switch can only be installed once. Once removed, it must be replaced.
Press and disconnect the brake light plug connector.
Turn the brake light switch to the left and thereby release it from the lock.
Remove the brake light switch.
