Back in November, I found out that
my original brake switch was bad. For Christmas, I got a new Ron Francis SW-32
low pressure switch in my stocking. Time to install it!!
After reading many ways to install
the switch, I decided to use the "short connector wire" method. I
just cut, stripped, and put terminals on two three inch wires. I connected
those wires to the terminal connector that came with the switch. It took
maybe five minutes to do.
Before I
installed the new switch, I made sure to prime (fill) it with brake fluid. Once
the stubborn old switch was removed, the brake line connector dripped out some
brake fluid as expected. So the new switch (which was “primed” to compensate for any fluid loss)
was immediately swapped with the old one and screwed in. The connector wires
were then snapped together to the wires on the wire harness. I really did not
want to hack away at the new harness when connecting this switch…and this
method worked great.
I do not
know if it works yet. The brake system needs a little fiddling this weekend so
we will find out then.
Thanks for visiting.
