1927 Touring, what is this n the underside of my car?

Post by bmklawt » Sun Jul 18, 2021 12:54 pm

I'm just curious what this is, it looks as if it has two electrical connections on it, I am not able to access from inside the car, it is located under the front seat.

Looks like the remains of a brake light switch. Not Model T.

Take it apart and see what's going on inside it.

Looks like a switch to me.

An add on from way back when. Some type of aftermarket
Stoplight switch by the looks of it. Whoever put it on did a pretty good job of attaching it.
