Folks,

So, i spent this past Sunday cleaning and reseating more electrical
connectors. I also coated all the grounds i removed with dielectric grease
so i hope that will keep corrosion under control.

It might just be my imagination, but the van seems to be running smoother
with more low-end torque.

But, now that it's getting dark so early here in The Northland, i noticed my
brake lights are coming on a bit later than i'd like when i press the pedal.
Keep in mind it's largely flat as a pool table here and i'm pretty easy on
the brakes to begin with (my father always warned me "never bet your life on
your brakes").

Should i start shopping for a new brake light switch? Is swapping the switch
a messy job?

Thanks,
