I have narrowed the problem down to the Brake Fluid control switch. How is this switch removed and replaced. The switch is in the brake fluid reservoir but I have not found a method to remove the switch from the reservoir. There is a two wire connector on the end of the switch
Can you tell me the best way to remove the switch without damaging the brake fluid reservoir or is the switch and reservoir all one piece and must be replaced as a single unit?

Rake d switch has nothing to do with cruise control either the brake position pedal switch or the brake pressure switch if it's brake pressure switch disconnect battery, unplug switch and unscrew from master. Use finger to stop fluid from going out have new switch ready to go andscrew in.

The problem is not the cut out switch as that would be covered by warranty The garage statement is the Brake Fluid Switch is defective and is not covered by warranty. The switch in your drawing, listed as number 20 has been designated as the problem
Thank you for your reply

Item 20 is the brake fluid level switch and has absolutely nothing to do with cruise control. Item 16 does I think you better have it re evaluated. Something is amiss here.
