Brake lights staying on

As an aircraft mechanic I couldn't let my self adjust anything or add something that was never installed by the factory.
I had to look at everything several times to figure out what had changed to cause the lights to stay on.

BINGO! I remember seeing the rod facing downward. The teardrop rod was the issue! Now the lights go off as they did before, no adjustments needed.

Thanks to everyone. Jack
Teardrop rod? I would like to see a photo of that so I know what to look for.
