Re: 55 clipper three prong stop light switch

I bought a 12V relay and a switch from I think a Toyota that I mounted on the steering column and is a Normally Closed switch. I have it in contact with the brake pedal arm. When I press on the brake pedal, the switch is released and the switch closes and turns on the relay which turns on the brake lights and turns off the load levelers. When I release the brake pedal, the switch is made and the relay turns off and so is the brake lights and the load levelers are turned back on. I have been driving with this for 10 years. Being an electronic technician this was an easy fix for me because I had the problem of the brake switch going bad and it seemed like a good idea. All of this is inside the car under the dash. The switch alone cannot handle all of the current of the brake lights but the relay can.
