Yep. Mine too. Just had mine replaced last week. It was covered by the warranty. Switch went bad.

Have you guys tried adjusting the rear switch so it's off with no pedal pressure? The switch is threaded so the on/off point can be set.

hmmmm, doesn't seem very adjustable... as soon as you loosen it up, brake-fluid starts to come out. there's no pressure on the rear brake, how would you adjust it ?

where's the best place to order this part ?
my nearest dealer needs to order it and it'll take 3 days.
