STOP LAMP SWITCH FIX (BAS/ESP/ABS LIGHT)
Ok guys I have bought 2 of these switches and decided to fix it. We don't have to buy anymore. Its under the steering wheel. Take off the plastic cover vis 4 screws, unclip the 2 connectors and rotate it left and it pops right out. Heres DIY FIX!!!!!
Ok, Lets go by picture # shall we.
Picture #1 - You will need a flash light (to take it out and to see what your doing), the stop lamp switch, glue for putting it back together, and something strong and sharp to punch out the stop lamp switch clamps.
Picture #2 - This is your stop lamp switch.
Picture #3 - Heres 2 of the clamps holding it together on one side. You need to push them in.
Picture #4 - On the other side, the top right clamp will need to be pushed in order to get inside it and take it apart, use pliers to pop them apart.
Picture #5 - This is the stop lamp switch taken apart and this is everything inside it.

Picture #6 - See the bottom left contact? This is what goes wrong and causes our headache. Its not making contact, after a while it separates, so we need to clamp it together a bit and ensure that all 3 contacts are making contact vis picture #7.
Picture #7 - This is what makes picture #6 contacts push together.
Picture #8 - This is the other side of the contact creator.
Make sure that the the contact creator is facing the correct direction upon putting it back together. There are only 3 contacts so its not to hard.
Remember, the contact points can be close, but they can't make contact without the contact creator applying pressure via pressure grooves.
Reverse this and glue it back together and stop lamp switch fixed!!!!!!!
