ive bought some euromax, autozone brake switches and all of them eventually seem to squirt from one of the metal prongs? it seems to happen to me all the time, the only switches ive found that dont break are from kragen. there made in spain but are expensive[/b]

Yes, this is very common. Save yourself a lot of work and just spring for the good ones.

The auto parts market is flooded with cheap crap that doesn't work, not to
mention outright counterfeit stuff. When it comes to brake parts, this is
life-threatening. This should not be allowed. Please make a stink. Complain
to the HQ of the company selling the parts, and the manufacturer. Complain
to the National Highway Safety Administration. Complain to your representatives in Congress. The next child to be killed by these bogus
parts could be your own.
