4. Unsnap the stoplamp switch from the pushrod.
5. Disconnect the electrical connector from the stoplamp switch.

1. Connect the electrical connector to the stoplamp switch.
2. Snap the stoplamp switch onto the pushrod.
3. Install the pushrod retainer on the brake pedal pin. Use an 11 mm (7/16 inch) socket in order to push a new clip onto the pin.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
5. Enable the SIR.




Looks pretty easy to get to. Should be right at the top of the brake pedal.
