    brake switch

    The brake pedal switch won't maintain it's zero point.

    I've adjusted it several times over the last week now. The lights will be off after a reset and then within a few brake applications they are stuck on.
    Anything else to check or can be causing this before ordering a new one?

    Craig, that was my first thought and I ripped it out Monday as the switch didn't seem to reset, but then it did.
    I only noticed the bloody brake lights must've been on again when the cruise control didn't work today setting up the new speedo corrector.
