Why do the smallest parts have to be in the most inaccessible places!!
Has anyone tried to replace a Brake Light Switch lately? BLS failure was the code and my BUDS showed that it failed and needed to be replaced. Not a big deal, right? Well......
after review of my shop manual it shows to remove it, (after removing a host of body panels), by drilling the rivets!!! Installation is a reverse of the removal! 😂😂😂 Undrill the rivets I guess. 🤔 Off to the hardware for some small bolts.
Now the part they DON’T tell you! The switch appears to be buried so far under the brake mechanisms that it looks like I need to remove the footrest support panel. Which of course supports the brake pedal and related linkages, is bolted to the frame and supports the master cylinder. (Second Allen screw on the MC not shown according to the shop manual).
I will be working to finish the work tomorrow. Wish me luck. I will update.
