Morning,
I have an '84 Series III 109, with 24 volt electrics I picked up from an MoD disposal company in 2009.
I have had to replace the brake switch (which looks like an original part) because one of the spade connectors snapped. I have tried a number of replacement brake switches myself (purchased from eBay, and Land Rover specialists), which are not exact matches for the original brake light switch. Within a short period of time, every brake light switch has failed.
I have also taken the Land Rover to a couple of local garages (including a mechanic with Series III experience) to have the brake light switch replaced. Again, they have not been able to replace the original brake light switch with an exact match. Within a short period of time, every brake light switch has failed.
I have been told repeatedly that the replacement brake light switches are suitable for a 24v Land Rover.
I have also had the wiring for the brake lights tested and been informed that there are no problems with the wiring.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a solution, which does not involve converting the Land Rover from 24v to 12v?
Thanks,
Richard
