To clean the switch it really has to be off the car. That means all the brakes would needed bleeding after that. You would also have to protect the paint on the frame rails. The brake fluid will remove it fairly quickly. You really can't clean it by just removing the sensor post.

Should i first attempt on bleeding the brakes and then see if the light goes off?

If the sensor is grounded I don't think bleeding would help, but you could try it if you want too. Bleeding your brakes in a high humidity environment like Panama is not a bad idea.

Can this part be rebuilt?

I did, but we won't know how successful I was for a while longer maybe spring.

[joe newsom]

Any tips that you can suggest for rebuilding?

It can be difficult to get it disassembled if it's badly corroded. The bolts on the end can be really tight and you need to take care not to damage the aluminum housing. I did not have new seals. I think I came up with some seals to reseal it. It would be in my build thread. Some brake safe grease would be nice too on reassembly. I cleaned everything and obviously replated it all. Be sure you put the correct end in the correct place. You should also test the sensor plug for continuity and isolation.

Patcon did you replace the orings and bushings? if so what was your source?

[joe newsom]

can this piece be separated?

Never mind figured out it does, mine is just severely corroded:)

Can i remove this part with a wrench and clean it ? i have noticed that sometimes after a couple of minutes of running the car, the brake light comes off completely. Randomly but not every time.
