It all depends on the type of vehicle. Most of them are as follows. Disconnect the wires on the back of the switch, loosen the lock nut on the switch, unscrew the switch from the bracket. Reverse the order for switch installation. Adjust the switch by screwing the switch in until it contacts the pedal and turns off the brake lights, then tighten the lock nut. That's about all there is to it.

On some Dodge/Chrysler Models such as my 97 Caravan the Stop Lamp Switch was fairly easy to uninstall.

  1. Remove lower steering column cover and knee blocker panel from instrument panel.
  2. With the brake pedal fully pressed, rotate the stop lamp switch counter clockwise 27 degrees and remove switch from the mounting bracket.< Just turn Count clockwise until you feel it unlock from its previous location, then pull it towards you>
  3. Disconnect wire connector from stop lamp switch by depressing the lock tabs holding stop lamp switch to mounting bracket and remove switch.

Its recommended to have someone push the brake pedal for you, can be tough to push it while trying to get his out.

  1. Connect the harness connector to the stop lamp switch.
  2. While pressing the brake pedal, insert switch into the keyed hole in the bracket and rotate the switch into the locked position.
  3. Gently pull back on the brake pedal until the pedal will go no further. This will cause the switch plunger to ratchet backward to the correct position. No further adjustment is necessary.
