Neil, they're pressure switches. They haven't a clue that you're moving the pedal, but they know when the brakes start to push back on the hydraulic fluid, and that's when they switch. If they're not switching on reliably by the time the first perceptible braking occurs, they're bad. If they're switching on *before* the brakes actually engage, you've got stuck calipers or some other mechanical issue. Yours, David |
