Hi guys, any one ever had any trouble with the fronk brake light switch playing up??
If i wiggle the wires, brake light will come on but not for long.
Spayed some WD-40 in the but to no avail

Are the spade lug connectors on tight? I had a problem awhile ago and had to crimp down on one of the female connectors to make it fit tight.

I had a similar problem with the signals. Thought it was the switch. It was a wiring problem right at the connection.. Don't waste your money until you rule out the simple stuff.
