I bought that one in October 2006. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I was very lucky to find a replacement at an Autozone warehouse/store about 30 minutes away. I'm wondering if I should carry a spare or if this was a fluke | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,177 Red dot, center of chest ... | | Red dot, center of chest ...

"Repop brake light switch".
Most likely the new one will not give you any problems,,unless made in ,china,korea,hong kong,viet nam,sri lanka,etc........... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 469 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 469 | Most of the repop switches are junk, after two from china I'm currently using one thats fifty years old from a salvage truck with no problems. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 289 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 289 | The $12.99 Autozone replacement said made in Mexico on the box. At least that's North America. They are $5.99 at Classic Parts. I will see if I can swap the switch guts into my orginal one if it's around or get a spare. Cheap, small, hard to find and a show stopper if it breaks makes it a no brainer to toss a spare in the truck.
