Brake Light Switch 560SL 1989

[Softball60]

I posted a while back that my brake light switch keeps coming on when I initially push on the brake pedal upon start-up and stays on till key is removed from ignition.

I have changed bulbs... but this did not fix the brake dashboard light from coming on everytime upon initial start-up. Once light comes on, it stays on till the engine/ignition is turned off.

Anyway I bought a brake light switch.


Keep in mind that I am 68 yrs old and laying on my back is not the easiest!!!!!so I want to make sure it takes only one (1) time to get it right.

It looks like it screws into the two oposing nuts (once the plug is pulled off) or is it more complicated? I know that there some critical distance between switch and pedal...I think it's in the repair book??

Your responses are important to me so anything you have is appreciated!!!
