rear brake light switch adjustment
« on: April 17, 2013, 06:26:50 PM »
Hi folks,

I was making some adjustments today while being helped by my 4-year-old daughter  :banghead:
She managed to kick my arm while I was making sure the rear brake light was coming on, and I managed to disconnect the switch.
When I reconnected that little hard to reach bugger, the light seemed to require a lot of pressure on the brake to come on - so I fiddled with it, going clockwise, counterclockwise, and after much frustration now it doesn't come on at all.

So...before I go through the thing and quadruple-check all the contacts --  which way does it turn to be more sensitive?
