2008 Chevrolet Colorado Brake Light switch

remove the clip and remove pin and then it should come out to where you can get it out.see pic make sure to disconnect electrical first.

Do I take a flathead screwdriver to the clip an it slips off? an by electrical do you mean unplug the two wire harness Or the battery?

ya normally a screwdriver then move it towards you and unplug the two switchesthe clip has a small groove then a larger one so the pin can come out. it's pretty simple really

I removed clip an pin...that didnt do anything its still tight an wont pull out...are there clips on the old switch to pull it out?

what isent is what our manual says I tmay be tha tit screws in and held with a stamped nut on the back they have nothing on this for removal and I thought that would at least let the bracket out so you could see. check for a stamped nut on back of switch then..also look between the switches and see if there is a nut there see if that will coe off and the barek switch will drop down for removal. included is a pic so it may have aclip or stamped nut holding it on.
