Found the brake light switch, could not see it for the fresh air tube and power steering hoses. It had the remnants of two wires, both black and incorrect size. Ran new wires and in playing around, found the correct pin per wire. At first, I had the light and dark green on the wrong terminal. The brake lights were on and went off with the pressing of the pedal. Had to use a pole to push the pedal while I watched the brakes. When I placed the dark green (brakes) on the correct terminal, nothing. While tracing wires, I found the light green wire was broken right before it went under the car to the compensator control switch. Now the leveling system is working again. That I will consider a success. Went looking online for a replacement brake light switch with no success. My thought is that the switch is full of trash. This week I purchased an ultrasonic cleaner. Been cleaning old tools trying to become familiar with it before I tackle the carb. Any thoughts on putting the switch in the ultrasonic cleaner, to clean out the internal passageway?
