Thank you sooooo much this was a huge help

[@vicjames2743]

Need to do the same thing to my Chevy. May just pay a mechanic to do it. Thanks for sharing your repair

[@vicjames2743]

Got a mechanic buddy of mine to replace mine Clip was a pain so he put a small hose clamp where the clip is to hold it on. It works. Real tight area to get under there to work

You bet

I know life long mechanics that hate this job!!! All because of getting the clip back on correctly... How do you do it? With your fingers or with a tool??? Thanks

[@fortnight1196]

Did you figure it out. I'm having the same problem and there don't seem to be any information about it

[@rockgarrison1784]

I use offset little nose pliers and my fingers I always buy new clip to me is insane to put the old clip back on

[@rockgarrison1784]

Needle nose pliers and my finger

If.the brake.switch is Bad does your turn signals stop working too?

[@weskoastnative1]

So does this switch mess with tcc too 🤷🤷

[@michaelbaskinmichael9862]

Can't seem to get it on there has to be another way it's terrible

[@denisemartin3603]

Where is it? Under brake?

[@rockgarrison1784]

Is connected to the brake pedal? And a rod that goes straight to the master cylinder. After removing the clip take the switch off. And go in reverse and everything you just did. Don't forget to securely replace that clip. I've seen people not put it back. Because it is very aggravating. But remember that is the only thing between you and your brakes If you don't replace it. You will surely have an accident. If that Rod slips off. You have no brakes.

About how long did this take you?

[@rockgarrison1784]

On average it takes me about 30 minutes to do that job however trying to shoot a video and to let people see how to do it it took me around an hour I plan to do another one with better lighting so people can see it better it's not a hard job it's just a little tight
