# ADDITIONAL BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL TO DISENGAGE C/C - BRAKE LIGHT

#### SUBJECT: ADDITIONAL BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL TO ACTIVATE BRAKE LIGHTS AND/OR DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL (REPLACE STOP LAMP SWITCH)

#### VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1992 CADILLAC ELDORADO BUILT PRIOR TO VIN 601454, 1992 CADILLAC SEVILLE BUILT PRIOR TO VIN 803333. 1992 CADILLAC ALLANTE, 1992 BUICK RIVIERA BUILT PRIOR TO VIN 401224, 1992 OLDSMOBILE TORONADO BUILT PRIOR TO VIN 300762

Some 1992 Eldorados, Sevilles, Allantes, Toronados, and Rivieras (see vehicles affected) may require additional brake pedal travel to activate the brake lights and/or disengage cruise control.

This condition can usually be repaired by adjusting the stop lamp switch. The switch is adjusted by manually pulling up on the brake pedal until the clicking noise from the stop lamp switch can no longer be heard. The adjustment may require more force than in previous model years.

If the switch will not click during adjustment and the brake lights still appear to come on late, replace the stop lamp switch with P/N 3537074 for Eldorados, Sevilles, Rivieras and Toronados; P/N 3537077 for Allantes.

Replace the switch using the following procedure:

1. Remove left side hush panel.

2. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the switch.

3. Remove the switch from the retainer.

4. Install the new switch into the retainer.

6. Connect the electrical connector.

7. Adjust the switch by pulling back on the brake pedal until no clicks are heard.

8. Verify the operation of the brake lights and cruise control.
