Need help with brake pedal switch.....
My brake pedal switch likes to stay on. I noticed it this past week pulling the trailer. I must have travelled 100 miles with the trailer brakes dragging! It seems like it just needs a little adjustment 'cause if I pull up on the brake pedal it turns off. Anyone know if its adjustable? Prefer not to visit the dealer if I don't have to. Thanks!

On my 06 did it when I first got it. I did not see any adjustment so I put 2 felt pads on where the switch makes contact with the metal. You know the felt pads you put on the bottom of bowls so they don't scratch the surfaces. Working so far so good 1.5 years plus.

I have manualy grabbed the holder the switch is housed in and with much grunt adjusted it where I wanted it to be.A little more up or a little more down.Takes quite a bit of force by hand to move it but it worked fine for me.I was also told a one time adjustment but I didn't adjust the switch.Just the metal frame that holds the switch.This was after a dealer tech replaced it and it would not trigger my trailer brakes or lights unless you stood on the brake pedal.
