    That might be the park brake switch so the ecm knows the brake is set so you can bump the idle up. Some trucks had 2 switches on the service brake side one for the ecm and one for the brake lights. There’s 2 main types of pressure switches Normally Open and Normally Closed you can tell the difference by the height of the plastic but I can’t remember which is which.

    Thanks for the compliment!
    Yeah I just couldn't figure it any other way. Heck, even while spewing air the old switch was still turning on the compressor..

    I'm trying to get more hands on as I go. Hard to find good honest help sometimes..

    I know on a Peterbilt them switches come in two kinds. Contact normally open. Or contact normally closed.
    Thinking about it they prolly vary in the pressure needed to move the contacter as well depending on the application.
    Parts guys these days don't know or care the difference. As long as they look the same...

    AZ is a dead zone for flatbed freight. Ya take whatever ya can get or bounce out. Unless your Cali compliant, El Paso probably the best bet.
