Default TCC --> Brake Switch

Does anyone have a pic & location of the Torque Converter Clutch to brake safety switch that connects to the transmission wires on a 1991 automatic Corvette? It is a failsafe switch that allows the TCC to disengage (in case of an electrical power failure) when the brake pedal is pressed.

The TCC disengages when the brake pedal switch is opened by stepping on the pedal. That disconnects the electrical power from the TCC solenoid, the same as there would be no power in the case of a electrical power failure. On MY car the switch is at the top of the brake pedal. It is a dual function switch in tandem with the cruise control interrupt. I'm sure this is covered in your FSM. Mine is.

RACE ON!!!

Default Confirmed

I thought it was on top of the brake pedal, but wanted to make sure. This confirms it. Thanks!
