1040 110 Brake switch question

Posted by Blackpack On 2014/7/27 18:47:44

I recently bought a 1940 110 Club Coupe and have discovered that the brake lights do not work. There seems to be an electrical switch mounted to the brake pedal lever on the engine compartment side of the firewall (see photo) This switch is getting juice and seems to be working. Then there is a pressure switch on the master cylinder. Notice the discontected original wire in this photo I don't understand why the redundancy. The ordiginal equipment seems to be a pressure switch, but it also looks like the bracket that holds the eletrical switch is original. I want to bypass the pressure switch. Is this advised?
