Multiple failures of BRAKE PRESURE SWITCH

[Dustoff529]

1990 coupe 6 spd... Is anyone else seeing multiple failures of the plastic brake pressure switch? I have replaced 3, (in 6 mos) there is a small hole between the electrodes and fluid squirts out of there like a squirt gun... of course Chevrolet says it is the MC and want several hundred $$ for a new one... which is WHY I do my own work.......

Hate to side with the hated Chevy dealer but I've heard others with the same problem indicate it took a new master cylinder to fix it, I don't claim to know why.

Look at the proportion (at the bottom of the page) of the numers of 'viewers', and how many are forum members, and how many are guests. Frequently, it's about a 10:1 ratio.

So with 1.8 members viewing, 1 didn't know the answer, .8 didn't have the parts necessary to respond
