Brake Combination Valve warning switch not connected

The other day I noticed that this switch was not connected. Can anyone tell me why the PO might have it disconnected and if there is a danger in leaving it that way?

Re: Brake Combination Valve warning switch not connected

I would just say pull off the other plug and plug in the stock one if the brake light is on in the dash ( when running) then it maybe a switch that works in the wrong direction...you just need to put one in for our trucks

either way no big deal if you have a brake failure the light will come on about the same time you step on the breaks..??

I'll bet it is because the plug is different and he didn't want to cut the harness.

Re: Brake Combination Valve warning switch not connected

the stock plug will not fit the aftermarket switch. cut and paste, it can be done cleanly....i just did it.
