Type in normal text you pillock.

If you turn the switch rather than the nut then you'll rip the wires out of one end or the other, reason I said to move the nut is because that's much easier than finding the connector and unplugging it so you can safely turn the sensor.

That's what suspected. I wasn't simply having a go at the newbie

Big writing is just annoying, especially when you can't be arsed to type in English.

Re: Rear wheel Break Light 'On' Position

Right then;

Here's a switch.

See that square tab thing below the soldered joints? That holds the switch itself in place. It also stops the switch with it's pair of soldered wires from rotating with respect to the body of the part. This means if you spin the switch/sensor around, the wires spin too.

These are the contacts on top of the switch body. If you spin the sensor round and round repeatedly without unplugging the connector at the loom to relieve the strain on things, something will probably give. Either these or the crimps at the connector end.

This part:

Can spin around fine, because it's just a plunger which presses on the microswitch inside. But the wires on top can't. Though a few turns probably won't pull the solder joints apart.

And if that isn't clear then you can be excused the use of a spell-checker as you must have a crayon up your nose or something.
