I own this model and year. The switch is located on the wall to your left if you are facing the couch that slides out. Is it about 2 feet from the floor. It should be marked in and out to indicate if you want to slide it in either direction.
Look under the dash on the 1996 suburban, and locate the brake light switch on the brake pedal arm. Remove the switch nut, and slide the switch out. Unplug the wires from the switch and install the new switch.
if it is 92-97 remove steering column covers then using a small drill locate small hole on the underside of column under the ignition switch drill out pin inside and slide switch out then spend about 13 dollars on new switch slide new one back in put covers back on column
Try spraying the brake light switch with WD-40 first. If that doesn't fix the situation, then: . Remove the under-dash panel. . Locate the switch near the top of the brake pedal and disconnect the wiring harness. . Remove the switch retaining pin and the white nylon washer from the brake pedal pin, then slide the brake light switch and pushrod off far enough for the outer hole of the switch to clear the pin. . Slide the switch down to remove it.
On the back side of the light switch, where the knob comes out, there is a place on the switch to depress with a small pointed object or small screw driver, press it in and at the same time, pull on the knob and it should slide right out, this requires looking under the dash to locate the back side of the headlight switch and finding the depress tab.
There is normally a little switch on top you can slide to unlock your player.
you use it to switch from components.
Slide Switches work on the principle of connecting disconnected parts to each other. The 'switch' connects two parts allowing the current to pass through it
Answering the LITERAL question, generally slide switches are soldered into a circuit. But to answer the question of what a 3 conductor slide switch can do for a circuit: A slide switch can allow the circuit designer to select between two choices, perhaps causing a switch to illuminate either the white light or the blue light. Since some slide switches only allow the two options, that would be all THAT slide switch could do. But other slide switches have other abilities, for them a center position allows the circuit designer to select between the two lights OR, but putting the switch in the center position, both lights would be off. Other slide switches include an internal resistor that allows for a fading effect, allowing for a light to be ON, OFF or some varying state between.
You have to reach up behind the dash and feel for a spring loaded button on the switch. If you have a new switch to install, notice the small button on the new switch. This will help you locate the button on the old one because you can not see it when the switch is installed. While you push in on the button you can pull the knob and shaft out of the switch from the front. Now you can unscrew the bezel/nut from the front and slide the switch out from under the dash to give you room to unplug the wire harness from the switch. If you have a new switch to install, the knob and shaft simply snaps back into place.
It is attached to the brake pedal about halfway up. Take the clip off the pedal and slide the old switch off. Slide the new switch on, replace the clip and you are ready to go.
Disconnect the negative cable. Remove any screw from the switch. Slide the switch from the dash. Remove the switch and insert the new switch.
