threeta 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Yet again (3rd time) the brake light switch in her e36 is failing (stops working if used often, eventually fails). Its a pain to replace, and team mc charge like wounded bulls!! Anyone have similar experience. I've owned car for 9 years so i guess 1 every 3 years is not too painful, but it i pain in the but to fix the same thing again and again dunc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 when i repaced mine i destroyed the first one on a hard stop....I cant quite remember the details but apparently they are self adjusting...so you dont nececarily install them the way it might seem...I had to go back and buy another one,the parts guy must have taken pity on me and the service manager came and show me how NOT to do it.
