I suspect my brake light switch is sticking. Where would I find it?

    Possibly on the end of the master cylinder. It should have a pair of wires, best
solution is to replace it.

Thanks. Found 1 at my local NAPA.

Most of these modern replacement brake switches should be avoided. If it works at all, it won't for long.
The Mexican manufactured parts are much better...
The best are the Harley Davidson switches. High quality and they activate at lower pressure than the Asian counterfeit ones.

Ron Francis wiring also sells those lower pressure brake switches, reportedly the materials used in their construction make for a longer lasting switch also.

I switched to one of the lighter pressure switches from Ron Francis. Worked great whereas some of the others took almost wheel locking pressure to light them up.     Harry
