1984 Nissan 300ZX brake and light problem

THIS MAY NOT BE EXACTLY HOW YOUR IS SET UPIT WILL BE SORTA SIMILAR----MY PIC WAS MADE FOR AN "ACURA"

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS YOU MAY HAVE ARE A "BAD SWITCH"----THE SWITCH DISLODGED FROM IT'S HOLDER----OR MAYBE A PART AS SHOWN IN MY PIC (OR SIMILAR) CRUMBLED AWAY INTO THE FLOOR. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THE PIECES DOWN THERE!

I LOOKED AT "ADVANCE AUTO PARTS ONLINE" FOR THE SWITCH---SHOULD YOUR SWITCH BE BAD---THEY SHOW 2 DIFFERENT STYLES (THE CONNECTOR IS THE DIFFERENCE) ONE WAS JUST OVER $7 THE OTHER JUST OVER $12

A HAND MIRROR AND A BRIGHT FLASH LIGHT MAY HELP YOU SEE THE WAY YOURS WORKS, AND WHAT MAY BE WRONG (IF IT'S A MECHANICAL PROBLEM) THIS WILL HELP WITHOUT "BREAKING YOUR NECK" (YOU MAY STRAIN IT LATER WHEN YOU ATTEMPT A REPAIR)

YOU WILL NOTICE THE SWITCHES PLUNGER "SHOULD" BE PUSHED IN, WHEN THE PEDAL IS AT REST

MAYBE MY HOME-MADE PIC WILL EXPLAIN BETTER. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY "QUICK FIX", I'LL TRY AGAIN

I DON'T REMEMBER WHOSE CAR I HELPED ON THE 1ST TIME I ENCOUNTERED THIS "STUPID PART"---WE WERE UNABLE TO FIND IT AT SEVERAL PARTS STORES (MUST BE A DEALER ITEM) SO WE USED A PLASTIC TRIM DEALEE (LIKE HOLDS THE DOOR PANEL OR CARPET IN YOUR TRUNK---WE STACKED A FEW WASHERS UNDER IT AND. WAH-LAH! IT PUSHED INTO THE HOLE AND WAS NOW TALL ENOUGH TO DEPRESS THE SWITCH

LEMME KNOW IF THIS HELPS AT ALL

GOOD LUCK!

THE MEDIC
