I had to shim my switch in order to get it to work, it made no sense to me, but it fixed it.

That would be great! the relay does engage as they do go on if the pedal is barley pressedI had the same problem, replaced the switch and still didn’t work. Have somebody stand behind your truck and manually press the actual brake light switch and see if it engages. You should hear a relay click if it engages if you dont have somebody to stand behind your truck. If it does what I did was I shimmed the actual switch with some trash sandpaper I had in my toolbox. Let me know if you want pictures and I can show you how I shimmed it. Works great now
Switch is good!You might try testing the new switch, could be bad.
If you are hearing the relay clicking when you press your foot on the pedal and the brake lights are not coming on, there is a problem with your wiring on the load side of the relay. My problem was that my switch was not engaging at all, only when manually pulled back with my hand. Could you explain your problem a little better?That would be great! the relay does engage as they do go on if the pedal is barley pressed
all 3 brake lights stopped working at the same time. If i barley push down on the brake the lights do come on, if i push down any farther to actually engage the brakes they don’t stay on. I’ve replaced fuses, relay, switch, and check the bulbsIf you are hearing the relay clicking when you press your foot on the pedal and the brake lights are not coming on, there is a problem with your wiring on the load side of the relay.

Was it like this before you replaced brake switch?If i barley push down on the brake the lights do come on, if i push down any farther to actually engage the brakes they don’t stay on.
Okay it sounds like the problem is with your switch. Like I said I shimmed mine on the end of the brake booster arm granted that yours is a 94-98 obs with the second style of brake light switch. I’ll try to get you some pictures of mine asap.all 3 brake lights stopped working at the same time.

Unless it was doing it with the other switch, BUT with what you get for parts I suppose new part could have same issue. Seems unlikely though.Okay it sounds like the problem is with your switch.
