[QUOTE="redcardinal, post: 439014, member: 19795"] It’s been a while, but I don’t remember seeing a spring on the pedal. But I’m getting old and forget some times. If it was a switch problem, lifting the pedal wouldn’t turn the brake lights off. I agree with what you said about the mechanic. He probably installed a slightly different master cylinder from the one you had and the push rod between the pedal and master cylinder is just a hair shorter. This would cause the pedal to sit slightly lower. Your switch may have been just barely working in the first place. BUT, I’d like to think a good mechanic would check the brake lights as part of the service. [/QUOTE]
