Hi, Is this the correct switch for my 1954 Aero Willys sedan on a 6 Volt system? Many thanks, Bry
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
There isn't a way to confirm that. If you have male terminals on your harness and its the right thread then sure.

When replacing the brake light switch, does any Teflon tape or any thread lock required? Per the parts diagram, I do not see any washers or any type of sealing applicant. Thanks for any help!
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
I have seen people do this but I do believe it is a pipe thread. Just make sure you are not leaking and if you do use it none gets into the lines.

Hi Mike, Hi Jason, Quick question on my CJ2A; My brake light switch leaks fluid a little bit (couple of drops a week). I'm thinking of tightening up the switch - but it looks original and fragile.... so I'm reluctant to mess with and possibly screw it up. If I give it a 1/8 or 1/4 turn - will it damage the fitting? Or should am I over - thinking this and just need tp replace? Appreciate any advice you might have here. Best regards, Dan
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
If in doubt replace. And check your copper crush washers at the fitting too.

I ordered this switch for my 1952 M38A1 and went to replace it today only to find out my existing switch has male connectors on the switch and female connectors on the wires. Did I order the wrong one or do they sell adaptors to make them work?

The brake switch for my 47CJ 2A is attached to the floor and visible when the cover plate is removed. It doesn't attach to the master cylinder and appears to operate off the side of the brake pedal. Is this a modification or was another type available? I had the master cylinder replaced and it didn't have the screw in open for the switch. Thanks, Ken

I have purchased this switch and a complete master cylinder assembly. After installing on my 57 CJ5, I noticed a brake fluid leak around threads. I kept tighting to eliminate the leak. All of the threads are used now and it still has a slight leak around the threads. Any ideas?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
I would check to make sure it is not on the crush washers where it is leaking. We also have new outlet bolts available as well.

Where do I find the original female connectors?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
We sell complete wiring harnesses or honestly your local Napa would have just the wiring ends if that's all you need.

I just replaced the master cylinder & brake light switch. The male plug in side of my brake light switch is smaller how can I get some larger connectors to fit onto my wiring to fit this switch.
Willys Tech:
This switch is just like original so you had an unoriginal one in there if its any different and you had one of the vehicles listed above. Good news is that is a common NAPA item for the wiring connectors.

I just purchased a new master cylinder from Kaiser Willy for a 1958 Willies Jeep. But the Brake Light Switch I have does not fit (switch fitting is way smaller than whats required for the master cylinder. Does the brake light switch listed above (BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FITS 46-66 JEEP & WILLYS) mate directly to the master cylinder, or is an adapter required? Thanks. TJJ
Willys Tech:
The master cylinder and brake light switch are both correct. Sounds like you are missing the outlet bolt part number: 637605.

I've replaced the master cylinder and the brake lights do not function. I'm guessing I installed this switch incorrectly (on the new cylinder without any fluid). What is the correct proceedure?
Willys Tech:
It is a pressure switch so it will need fluid and your brakes bled to work properly.

Willys Tech:
Yes that is correct. You will need to rebleed the brakes.
