uh that looks like the neutral safety switch by the clutch on the bottom....

correct on both.

 

 

the clutch switch interupts the thick yellow wire from the ignition, between the the ignition and the column to underdash harness.

 

and the brake switch.... damn that is a pain!

Did they change the brake switch in the newer ones?

yes. it is at least 1x1042557665856234346756978908767453675689008977643567680890978846 better.

 

I upgraded it in one of my cars... it was VERY simple, but required a bit of donor wiring and plugs from a 93+ Gm donor. iirc, 4 of the wires could be repinned, but two had to be cut and spliced.

What's the difference in the brake switch, Ken? Got pics?

I remember changing out the one in the '88 over a decade ago, and it sucked. I still remember being upside-down so long, I thought I was going to have an aneurism.

the newer brake switch is almost identical in looks and nature to the cruise control vacuum safety release plunger on the older w-bodies. It's a normally closed switch w/a pintle which rests on the brake pedal arm. Much simpler!
