Brake lights staying on

Found the problem! The new switch was installed without the proper bushings and washers. BTW, there is no adjustment for the switch on this type setup. If you don't have a shop manual, get one. It will save aa lot of time and guess work.

well there is some adjustment, but it involves a file, when I replaced the rod from the pedal to the master, my brake lights wouldn't turn off, I filed the back end of the rod a bit and it loosened up the connection at the switch allowing it to turn off when releasing the pedal.
