It was recently brought to my attention by a fellow motorist that my car had no brake lights. So, I took it home and jumped out the wires at the switch and sure enough the lights came on. Failed brake light switch. Searching the forum, I found the general consensus was to retrofit a mechanical switch and do away with the pressure switch. There are a few examples that can be found on the forum but they lack some detail so I thought I would document what I did in case someone else considers this modification.
We have a NAPA warehouse in town which really helps when looking to "make something work". I had the counter guy pull six different switches I found on their website for me to compare. I picked the one that was the smallest and seemed like the best fit. When I rolled it over, I took what I found as a sign. See picture below.
