Abs Brake Pedal Stop Light Switch Sticking.

Due to inactivity of my car not being a daily driver and not really being used for the past 3 years. The stop light switch on the pedal seemed to have seized up. Instead of buying a new one (they cost far more than the standard non ABS 2 pin ones) I repaired it.

I opened up the cover, then sprayed it with electrical contact cleaner. The terminals tend to drop down in the assembly, this causes the stop light not to come on as the contacts tend to miss once the operation of sliding back and forth. I had to bend it to make sure it does not drop down after repeated operation.

In both pics you can see one of the terminals that is lower, this is the problem stopping it from working. It was adjusted afterwards.

First pic shows operation of it when pedal is pressed.
