i dont have any pictures but i can tell you where its at. removed the upper console/shifter plate.....whatever you wanna call it, and its on the shifter assembly. just look for wires running to the shifter assembly and you will see it

So, my brake fluid isnt low, what do I do now? Do I have to replace the switch? How do I test to make sure its working properly?
