Adjustable brake light switch

Who'd of known that the brake light switch actuator arm length can be adjusted just by pulling or pushing?

After brake lights were not going off i had a look. Had a look at the switch and thought to myself well that's rubbish, too short and no adjuster.

Had the thing in the vice with me drill ready to create a hole to then tap a thread and insert a screw to add adjustment when it got shorter by itself as i was leaning on it. Odd, i though. Then a little more investigation and all became clear. In all my many days messing with cars i've never seen that before.

Put the drill away, pull the end to adjust to max length and back in a bit then fit and test - all working fine again.

Learn something new every day.

Yup, did something similar with mine!

Pulled on it slightly and out it all popped, thought I'd broken it initially  :P
