Trying to find a diagram, to find the location as well.

Every switch I've had to replace was located near the rear of the brake peddle.

After looking at what the switch on the w463 looks like, it has a standard I/O input that looks like it is actuated by the brake peddle.

I'd recommend pulling the carpet down under the peddles and look for a switch that's behind, or above the brake peddle.

Wish I had more info, still looking, but give the above a try and let us know.

Here's decent video of what I am talking about above.... put on mute

Also, what issue are you having? Just found this on the forum. Looks like someone was having issues with their brake lights coming on and wasn't the switch but some trailer module that was corroded.

Hey there and thank you! I’ve pulled the carpet off and just can’t see anything near looking like the plug. Had a shop tell me to feel up behind panels. I will try that today.

will let you know today when I attempt this. Thank you so much for your help!
