im trying to install new brake light switch behind the brake pedal and read on the internet to place into keyslot and turn clockwise,i cannot get the switch to stay in ,i know the brake has to be fully depressed in order to fit plunger into the bracket,,is there some trick to install this?
 
Well I have to ask. How did you remove the previous switch? If you rotated out the previous one you should be able to in cert the switch at an angle and then rotate to lock into place.. STOP LAMP SWITCH
REMOVAL
Remove the switch from the bracket by depressing the brake pedal and rotating the switch in a counter-clockwise direction approximately 30 degrees. Pull the switch rearward and remove from bracket. Disconnect wiring harness connector.

INSTALLATION
Before installing the switch, reset the adjustable switch plunger by pulling on the plunger head until the plunger reaches the end of its travel. A ratcheting sound will be heard during this procedure.

Connect the wiring harness to the switch. Mount the switch into the bracket by holding the switch with the plunger facing forward in car. There is an index key on the switch that mates with the bracket slot at the top of the square hole. Align key and push switch into square hole in bracket while depressing the brake pedal. Once the switch is seated in the hole, rotate clockwise approximately 30 degrees to lock into place. The switch will automatically adjust when the pedal is released. Pull back on the pedal to assure correct adjustment.



Hope that helps
