Re: [T3] Brake light adjustment

No.  The switch closes when the hydraulic pressure gets big enough to overcome
the spring.  Maybe your contacts are burned and not closing the circuit until
the pressure is higher.

I guess it would be possible to devise a pressure sensor that sends a signal
depending on the pressure.  I'm sure I heard of a school project in the UK where
a girl had developed such a device, but generally if the car in front puts its
brakes on, you just react rather than wondering how many lumens the light is
giving out!
