Thanks for your help and insight. Now since I understang how it works I did a little investigating. I removed the swith and used a piece of wire and it feels like the switch piston is sitting in the right spot. I could feel the sloped sides where the pin should rest. I was curious to see how much I had to unscrew the swithch and check with an ohm meter until the switch was closed. I did not even have to back it out 1/2 turn to close the circuit which is only a fraction. Thus no more light. I believe the tolerence is so close that if something is not made to exact specks it can cause the light to come on or not at all.
I think if you had a condition where you lost pressure to one side bad enough to move the pistion while you were trying to stop the car you would be more inclined to make the car stop and not be looking to see if your idiot light was working. I hope I never have to find out. Thanks again for your help.
