About this part
ATTENTION UPDATE V2 added.
Description in English and Português
English
UPDATE 2018/03/05
V2 is created to solve some problems with V1.
V1 some times doesn't switch the presence light and the left rear light
This is the inside plastic of light switch.
I have bought another in car spares and it was worst than mine.
The design it's not perfect but it works very well and the light warnings stopped :)
IMPORTANT, when assembling the part:
- Be careful with the plastic pin as shown in picture 20171006_183517b.jpg it needs to be to the right side.
- If the base is too thick and doesn't go all the way down, then the switch will be stuck. Maybe you need to sand it a little bit.
Spray some WD40 on the metal contacts while its open.

- If the base is too thick and doesn't go all the way to the bottom, the switch will get stuck. It may be necessary to sand it a little.
Take the opportunity to spray WD40 on the metal contacts while it is open.
