Toyota 84340-32050 Switch Assy, Stop Lamp

To remove the brake light switch, start by moving the driver's seat fully to the rear for maximum working space. Disconnect the wiring plug from the brake light switch located at the top of the brake pedal bracket, then loosen the switch locknut and withdraw the switch from the bracket. For refitting, reverse the removal process. After fitting and reconnecting the switch, check its operation by having an assistant observe the brake lights while you push the brake pedal in by hand approximately 5 to 10 mm, adjusting the brake light switch so that the lights just turn off. Release the pedal and slowly press it again to ensure the brake lights illuminate before the pedal has traveled 15 mm. Additionally, the brake light can be adjusted by measuring the clearance between the switch plunger and the top of the pedal, comparing it with the specified measurement.

Brake light switch is mounted at the tip of the brake pedal on a bracket and which engaged the rear brake light when depressed. To remove it first of all, you have to unbolt the ground cable, as well as the electrical connector, from the switch. Next, free the locknut and take off the switch from the pedal bracket, while the procedure of the reverse process will be the installment. For adjustment the users have to unlock the locknut, then set the switch to the desired clearance and lock it again. Finally attach the wires at the switch and at the battery, making sure that the brake lights work properly.

The brake light switch is located on a bracket at the top of the brake pedal. For 2009 and earlier models, remove the left front door threshold trim plate, the cowl side trim panel, and the two lower trim panels. For 2010 and later models, remove the two screws and the instrument panel lower cover plate. Disconnect the wiring from the brake light switch, loosen the lock nut if equipped, and then unscrew the switch from its bracket. Installation is the reverse of removal. To adjust, check and, if necessary, adjust the brake pedal height. Loosen the switch locknut and adjust the switch so that the clearance between the switch body and the pedal is appropriate. If unable to measure this distance, adjust the plunger so that it lightly contacts the pedal stop, then tighten the locknut if equipped. Plug the electrical connector into the switch and reconnect the battery, ensuring the brake lights come on when the brake pedal is depressed and go off when released. If not, repeat the adjustment procedure until the brake lights function properly.

The brake light switch is located at the top of the brake pedal assembly and can be accessed by removing the trim panel beneath the steering column. It is responsible for opening and closing the brake light circuit, allowing current to flow to the brake lights when the pedal is pushed. If the brake lights do not work, check the fuse and bulbs. If those work, check that voltage is available at the switch. If there is not, there may be an open circuit between the fuse block and the switch and if there is but the lights do not work, there is an open circuit. When searching for it, check in between the switch and the light. To replace, begin by removing the trim panel below the steering column. Disengage the electrical connector, remove the locknut, then remove the switch. Installation is the reverse of removal, adjusting the switch afterward.
