just a fwiw, sometimes if you pull up on the brake pedal it will readjust the switch so they go out. Also, there is a clearance spec in the FSM for the rod from the booster to the M/Cylinder....that doesn't have anything to do with the brake lights but it is an important spec to be observed.

sorry for butting in on your thread.

Tom,
Yeah, I thought maybe I didn't have the booster seated against the FW when I was tightening it down. I started looking at it last night and everything looked OK. So, I contorted my fat a$$ back under the dash and found that while tightening up the booster bolts, I had somehow dislodged both brake switches from the holders and both were pushed back about 1/8 of an inch. The switches are threaded but I was able to push them back to where they needed to be. It concerns me a bit that they dislodged so easily, I may have to replace them at some point. The plastic theads looked stipped to me.
Thanks
Rich
