HAs anyone changed the brake switch on a Cali T

My brake switch was going bad. Intermittent, so sometimes the engine won't start no matter how hard you step on the brakes.

My 2016 Cali T was at the dealer for annual service so I told them to fix the engine start malfunction issue.

The dealer charged me $1,200.00 to troubleshoot, remove and replace the brake switch. I looked up the part and it's only like $70.

Had I known they will charge me that much I would have replaced it myself. It should be an easy DIY replacement.

I have a copy of the workshop manual. PM me if you want a copy.

Do you have the part number?

 

Ricambi has the part
#201957 Brake pedal switch (white plunger)
$54.89 shipped

 

May I have a copy of the workshop manual pls? thank you

 

Any one who had done this can you comment. I have the new switch and it appears to be accessible at the top and in front of the brake pedal which can only be accessed with the removal of the lower dash trim under the steering wheel. How do you remove this piece?

 

Did you get a copy of the manual? send email if not

 

Im tryign to do it on my RHD cali 30 (2013) and boy is it tough to get to!

 

I struggled with the switch for hours then asked my wife with smaller hands to try. Twist and click done in 10 min.

 

did you have to remove any parts of the dash or drop the column or anything to get to it?

 

there is detail in the service manual on how to do this. yes you will have to remove some of the dash panels easy job.

 

which direction do i turn to remove

 

left

 

i got it - clocwise to remove, anticlockwise to reinstall - ended up taking out the fuse box to get visible access - not completely necessary but helped a lot

 

might be different on the lhd cars im guessing
