Default Brake light switch
While replacing the brake booster, I inadvertantly pushed the brake light switch plunger in too far and now the brake lights won't go off. Is there any way to pull the plunger back out so I can re-adjust it or do I need to buy a new switch? If so, how? I tried pulling it out with needle nose pliers but didn't want to break it.

You already broke the switch. Buy a new one!

There is a clip on the backside of the plate, just pull it off or do what I did and just pull it out.

What year?

Thanks Randy93!!! Figured it out. The whole switch moves out... not just the plunger.
