Removal

NOTE: Locking tab on connector must be lifted before connector can be removed.

1. Disconnect the wire harness at the connector from the stoplight switch (13480) .

2. Remove the hairpin retainer, slide the stoplight switch , the push rod and the brake master cylinder push rod spacer and brake master cylinder push rod bushing (2474) away from the brake pedal , and remove the stoplight switch by sliding the stoplight switch up/down.

Installation

 CAUTION: Do not substitute other types of pin retainers. Replace only with production hairpin retainer.

Then slide stoplight switch up/down trapping the master cylinder push rod and blade bushing between the stoplight switch sideplates. Push stoplight switch and push rod assembly firmly toward brake pedal arm. Assemble outside white plastic washer to pin and install hairpin retainer to trap whole assembly.
