Brake Light Switch Connector?

[chrismac52]

I have the mechanical lever type brake light switch

What type of connector do I need to crimp onto the wires connected to it? The previous owner just rigged a piece of round metal but it keeps falling off. I would much rather get the right connector and quit losing it!

Thanks!

They sell those terminals at NAPA in a pkg.Take your switch in so you get the right size.

Thanks for the quick reply. I do not have a NAPA anywhere near me, we have Oreilly's and Autozone around here. Any idea what those connectors are called?

Pretty sure they're called "bullet" connectors. Any auto parts store should have them, but I got some for the same switch at Home Depot. They sell both males and females. Take your switch when you go and compare it to the male connectors. If they're pretty close, get the female connectors. Make sure you have a good crimping tool.

Yup - bullet connectors. You need the female. Any parts store or hardware store should have them.

I just installed one like that on my 27 Buick. I did cut the colored insulater off, solder connector to wire and used heat shrink to make it look orginial. Good Luck
