Brake light switch...

My switch broke today was a universal type that connects to the pedal.
I had problems with it before. Rust and corrosion getting into it.
I found this one ...

Baron Custom Accessories Banjo Brake Switch - Metric RTI05

Wondering if it will fit ?? maybe plug into bleeder valve or something off the caliper? I have rear disk.

What are you putting it on? You might consider just getting a pressure switch and plumb it into the brake line. What you selected would work great if you had a Banjo fitting to put it into. Go to NAPA and ask them for a switch and the fittings to put it in the brake line.

I agree with you on this one Gorilla.

Im not sure how i never noticed it.... BUT the damn thing already has an inline switch LOL.
Its just hidden and had some black overspray on it. One of the connecting terminals is broken off, but i think i can solder a wire back on to it. Hope it works!
love it when i can save money.

There you go Donnie

if you cant make that work ... i would go to a switch like on a bike... works with a spring rather than pressure.. then if it fails you dont need to undo the lines.....
many aftermarket ones available probably auto parts would have it

On most of the bikes like a Yamaha Roadstar, they have that, easier to use too.

Well i had to just get a new one.. the old was not fixable. Was a little hard to find. But an old wise man at car quest hooked me up Works good!

I'm having the same issue and was wondering if you could help me in figuring out what the piece off of so I can replace mine
