Reply to "Had enough, brake switch."

Sorry for your troubles.

Off the top of my head ...

I have never heard of such a failure rate for a simple brake switch.

On the other hand, I have often heard of our cars displaying weird and hard-to-track-down electrical issues.

I am not aware of a simple on-the-bench test to verify if a brake switch is still operating as designed.

With that said ....

Where are you sourcing your switches from? Pantera vendor or ???

WHAT leads you to believe the switches are at fault?

Have you checked all brake light wiring connections? Especially, have you confirmed clean and tight ground connections for your tail lights? Have you inspected your brake light bulbs for broken filaments? Swapped in known good bulbs?? With a helper, have you checked the operation of the switch, at the switch, with a multimeter?

Thousands of Panteras are using totally stock systems without any problems.

Yes, you can adapt another switch to the task, fabricating a bracket and re-routing the brake system wiring.

But why reinvent the wheel when the original has no design flaws?

As a retired IBEW Inside Wireman, I know trouble shooting electrical can be a time consuming PITA.

Invest time to find the stock system problem?

Invest time to create a work-around to a system that needs none?

Its your time. But I vote for trouble shooting, fixing and retaining the stock system.
