    Thank you very much for this video. My buddy replaced my booster for me but did put the washers on correctly, the switch kept moving around. This video helped alot

    Wow! This video is EXACTLY what I needed! I took apart the brake switch without really paying attention to replace the brake booster. Thank you so much for taking the time to have this pedal mock-up and explaining everything clearly! I just subscribed and liked this video! Cheers!

    Best instruction video. Can a cotter pin be substituted in the event red pin is damaged or non existent

    • @Foxedup
      @Foxedup  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would say only temporarily. You’ll want a heavier duty non-rusting pin in there since a failure could cause you to not have brakes.

    Great video man,i did my booster this weekend and i just realized by watching your video i had my nylon stuff backwards from the last time i did the booster back in 08,i had the black nylon in first then the white one on the outside, been working fine 16 years but hey, why not assemble it correctly this time right? thanks again.

    Thanx for the vid, why when you initially took of the black plastic bearing it came from the right side of the booster rod and when you installed you put in the left side of the booster rod?

    • @Foxedup
      @Foxedup  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good catch! 👁️👁️
      I had it on the wrong side before the video. The installation is the correct placement.

    Soooo glad to find this vid!! My issue is the brake lights wont activate until the pedal is past the halfway mark of pedal travel. Im on my 3rd brake light switch..Any suggestions? Have you had this problem before? Thanks!! 87 Mustang 5 litre.Signed, VERY nervous Mustang driver!😳

    • @joeycmore
      @joeycmore ปีที่แล้ว

      You've likely figured something out by now but for what it's worth, my guess is you may need to shim up where the contact meets the spring on the switch? There could be too much travel/play? Good luck.

So i actually have to plugs coming from the dash , one plug ( which plugs into that box that cuts cruise control ) that plug is 3 wires all red with green stripe. I have another plug that’s blue with yellow stripe and black with white stripe which I can’t find any other plug that connects to it . Would you happen to know ?

    This switch if is bad , prevents the transmission from shifting? Stock in p. 1990

    • @Foxedup

      The brake light switch shouldn’t impact shifting at all.

    When you take it apart the lip on the bushing is on the inside and it falls out, when you put it back together you put the lip of the bushing on the outside, which is it?

    I’m dealing with my cruise switch. I’m missing the black plastic piece you showed. My pedal won’t come back enough to push the switch.

      I don’t think that is available anywhere. You’ll have to check eBay and foxbody junkyards.

      That's your clutch engagement control box,if you have a standard you have to depress the clutch before starting the car, this box makes sure you do that or the car wont start, its a safety device.
