My brake lights won't go off. I've been told it's the brake switch and that it's very time consuming and tough to change. Is there anything else that could be the problem? And if it is the brake switch, what is the best way to change it?

Chances are the switch is either out of adjustment or bad. It is located at the top of the brake pedal. The only part which is hard to do is reach it. Other than that, it is a simple job. NOTE: When I say it is hard to reach, that is only because it is under the dash.

OK FELLER

THIS AIN'T REALLY TOO HARD

YOU MIGHT HAVE TO REMOVE THE DUCT/ AIR DIVERTER THAT COOLS OFF YOUR GOODIES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE......NO BIG DEAL!

I MADE YOU SOME PICS (AND ME TOO, TO GO ALONG WITH THE HUNDREDS I'VE TAKEN TO AID OTHERS IN CJ REPAIRS)

OTHER PIC IS MY "SECURE" JEEP IGNITION/ STARTING SWITCHES....REVERSIBLE.....MODIFIED OLD IGNITION SWITCH PLUGS INTO THE REGULAR OLE HARNESS....NO KEY NEEDED NOW!

LET'S HEAR SOME MORE STUFF YOU NEED TO ADDRESS....CJs ARE MY THING!
