My brake lights are no longer operational so I took it to the shop and they said that the break light swich is broken and wanted to charge me $75.00 to replace it. Can I replace that part myself and if so how do I do it?

Unplug the switch on the brake pedal arm, pull it out, push new switch in, plug connector in, pull the pedal rearward towards the seat, test operation!
