Very good pictures Art.

I had a problem like this many years ago. And it frustrated me.

The way I fixed it is by pressing strongly and rapidly the brake pedal just like if I were in an emergency braking situation on a highway. I did it many times in a row. The light went off confirming recentering of that contact pin. There is no need to remove the switch plug like in the older systems unless the system is realy jammed.

No doubt any weak part will show failure with this method but it is better in your driveway then have that occurance on the highway at 60 mph.

I assume these O-rings never move and are fudged in place.
