Brake light won't go out

[realm]

Anyone know how to adjust the brake pedal?

Here's the problem... brake engages and disengages properly, but when totally disengaged the pedal itself falls about a 1/4" which is enough to setoff the brakelight. If I lift the pedal up that 1/4", the light goes out. Let go... light comes on.

Looking underneath, it doesn't look like that play in the pedal pulls the actual brake cable at all, but there is like a little metal tab I see up further that the pedal hits, and I'm guess this is what controls the brakelight. (but I could be wrong).

Anyone know how to adjust that so my pedal dis-engaged doesn't drop and setoff the light?

Thank you.

Thank you! I had the 20 manual but didn't know what to search for. Got it... thanks!

This is a problem of the brake light swich adjustment, which is also the rest of the brake padel. This shwich is adjustable with the setting of the distance/clearence to the brake padel. Usually to my experiance the brake light switch in the series is not the very best and normally needs simple adjustment.
If adjustment does not help, replace the shwich by a new one from the local Chevy dealer. It is a standard part.
