Just a note - Instead of replacing my failed pressure switch with another pressure-type, I chose a roller because of the number of others who had reported similar pressure switch failures as well. Worse than just the brake lights not coming on, I didn't want any chance that the next one would fail when I'm several thousand miles from home in a manner that would cause spraying fluid or a total loss of brakes (as some owners have reported, if I recall correctly).
I've put about 4000 miles on my roller switch since installing it, everything from very harsh rainstorms on the highway to a number of track days, and no problems so far.
