      Default need a picture of brake light switch mounting position

      i need a picture of brake light switch mounting position. for some reason the way i have mine mounted doesn't activate the brake lights 100% of the time..
      took the switch off and tested it. works fine so.. i think just the position of it is off.
      thanks

      it should be parrallel to the floorboard, running from the mounting stud towards your seat.

      Connector faces toward the driver's seat. The "hook" portion of the switch body should
      go closest to the brake pedal arm.

      This is from a slightly downward angle looking up, about 30 degrees.

      Disregard my previous post (now deleted) my switch had to face at an angle up, not down.
