How do you adjust the brake switch on a GMC 2500 work truck. It works fine but will not turn the brake lights off unless I lift the brake pedal slightly. It happens 80% of the time. It is not a switch that can be adjusted by loosing a locking nut.

You might need to remove it, and straighten out the clip. Then reinstall it.
