Just a follow up....I finally got my brake switch out and fixed. I got an original AC Delco switch, interestingly from the mechanic who lives across the street from me. I was telling him about my 3rd brake light, he and goes " come on in the garage, I may have what you are looking for."
We had a old guy here in Carterville, who for years owned a little AC Delco shop. He retired around 1997, and just closed his shop. I remember driving by it for years, just seeing all the inventory collecting dust. Then one day it was all gone. Well, it seems this mechanic happened to get all of his old stock......He walks to the back of the garage, and thats's when I see ALL of that old stock lol. I helped him look for about a minute, and we found the switch. In the original, kind of faded, and dusty AC Delco box. I had not ordered one yet, and said I'll give you $10 for it. I ended up getting it and bulbs for every light on the car pretty much, all factory Delco parts, for $10!!! Long story short, you just got to love small, hometown businesses. Never know what you will find........
I got the switch changed no problem, but now I have no cruise control AND I'll get out of the car and notice my 4 main brake lights on. I'll tap the pedal and they go off. Thinking I did something wrong......
