Re: [Chrysler300] Harley davidson hydraulic brake lite switch

["JoeyPilot" <Joeypilot@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I find all this talk about the brake light switches failing amazing. I did 
replace my brake light switch once, but that was at least 12 years ago. I 
drive my G about 200 miles a year, and the switch still works perfect. Am I 
just lucky?????
