after much f**king around, i conclude that neither of my brake switches are faulty.
I finally decided to follow the crank and cam angle sensor route today, pulled out the crank angle sensor (absolute bitch because the bolt is not visible, side of the gearbox is sharp/coarse and it's right near the cat). Done the resistance tests and it is defective as per the FSM.
Pin 1 (+) to 2 (-) : 1.117k ohm
Pin 1 (+) to 3 (-) : infinity ohm
Pin 2 (+) to 3 (-) : infinity ohm
All readings should be anything but zero or infinity ohms. I always thought with resistance checks, polarity of the test leads should not matter. If i connect the test leads in reverse, all readings show the sensor is ok so be sure to check the polarity of your test leads when doing these checks.
For kicks, i also checked both cam sensors. Both failed for the same reasons....
Looks like it's a dealer visit for this one. Still no codes either....
