Remove the trim from under the dash, to expose the switch at the top of the brake pedal. Switch is held to the brake pedal bracket and is removed by rotating it clockwise a quarter turn. It will be more obvious when you see the new switch!

SLK
When you install the new one pull the plunger all the way out before installing it.
After you are done start the car and step on the pedal as you normally would. It is self adjusting.

if you do not do the above the calibration will be off and the light will stay on.
