Default Jamming to get brake lights

I just replaced my hydraulic switch ($8.50 at NAPA) because I had to jam too hard to get the brake lights on too. Works much better now. The contacts were probably a little corroded or the switch was just old. There is no adjustment for these switches. They work or they don't. For the cost, I'd just replace it and see if it's better.

This is a real easy replacement. Just unscrew the old one and screw in the new one. Pipe threads will need teflon tape, terminals don't care which one is attached to which. Very little fluid will leak as long as nobody hits the brakes while you change.
