My brake lights remain continuously on, and found out that little plastic stopper by the brake switch needed to be replaced. I bought the part, but for the life of me I can't get it installed. I know the flat button side goes facing the switch, but I can't get it to fit between the switch and the hole it goes into to push it in? Am I doing something wrong?

Hi 49ermike98,

Start the engine and you can depress the pedal further to enable installation. If it is still difficult, unplug the brake switch wire, unloosen the lock nut on the brake switch and turn the switch out.

After installation, the brake switch must be adjusted to have sufficient free play to prevent self application of the brake.
