Well, I've had a similar problem, and replaced the switch. Yes - it's the same one in the picture - the electronic one on top of the brake pedal box under the bonnet. From everything I've read on other forums, these switches are finicky. My theory is that when you twist to adjust down or up, you have to be super careful to gently remove the wires or it will break the switch mechanism inside. My old one was intermittent just as described. I was really careful with the new one, said a prayer and it's okay for the time being. As a back up, I'm planning to install another switch under the dash, at the top of the brake pedal, like the old style (and in most new vehicles of all makes these days). I found the old bracket for the brake pedal switch on EBAY (UK) and ordered the retaining nut from Rimmer Bros (UK). I got the special plastic switch from one of the local companies in USA. I made a video of my drama, and I'll post it on YouTube in the next couple of weeks. I need to edit the sound.
Thanks all for your comments!
