86 240 wagon strange erratic brake light behavior
So about a few days ago my brake lights started to become erratic.
As I was testing the brake light switch, I noticed something weird:
Occasionally the brake light would come on when I engaged the brake pedal, but kept the switch in its disengaged form.
Meaning, it didn't seem like the switch had anything to do with the light coming on, and there was something else was engaging the light.
Would anything else engage the brake lights?
Running lights still work
The brake lights are not working 80% of the time.

Interesting! that could be it
Ive attached what the switch looks like that I was referring to
Now the question is, where is the switch located in mid 80s 240s. ive seen posts about 90s models being located in the dash. but you mention it being higher up on the lever. has anybody accessed this from below or does it still require taking the dash apart?
