MG MGB Technical - 1977 brake light switch

Can someone tell me where this is located? Thanks in advance

On my 80 'B it's on the rear side of the brake master cylinder.... tucked back by the firewall. Should see two leads going back toward it. Replaced mine once because of intermittant operation.

The switch protrudes from the pedal, in line with the brake pedal. As Mike said above, you should see rwo wires going to it, one green wire and one green with a purple tracer. If you need to replace the switch, see my article on the switches at: http://www.omgtr.ca/technical/brakelightrelay/brakelightrelay.htm
If the switch is replaced, the relay talked about in this article should be installed at the same time so the replacement switch doesn't have a chance to start burning before installing the relay. Good luck - Dave
