Anyone have any suggestions on brake light failure. I think it might be the switch. anyone changed one of these out lately? Easy job or not?
Thanks, Scott

I have had the plunger in the plastic type of switch stick, and a bit of spray lubricant freed it up for months. The plastic also wears, and the switch might need adjustment. I have also had the switch contacts come loose at the rivets that hold the inch male spades in place. A spray with brake clean and a little JB weld fixed that problem. To check the wiring, just jumper across the two female spade connectors with a short wire. The switch should just unthread from the housing, after loosening the locknut. IIRC, a switch from a GM product can be used in place of the Rover part.

I concur, though: On the brake pedal assembly, on top above the servo, there's a screw-in switch with two wires attached.... That'll be your starting point....
