Brake Light and Clutch Safety Switch

[Padawan]

All,
Quick Question - Never done this before...

Do the Brake light and Clutch Safety Switch look to be installed correctly?

The white button is full pressed against before Brake Light and Clutch Safety Switch, images below...

Next Question:
Do they have to be fully released to work or is it when pressure is released, white tab starts popping out, the brake lights come on?

Thanks in advance...

Correct. As installed, in both cases releasing the button completes the circuit. Brake +12V is applied to the brake lights. Clutch +12V is allowed to go the starter when the key is turned. There are two sets of terminals on the switches FF provides. Two are NC (normally closed) and two are NO (normally open). In both of these cases, you use the NC closed pair. Not 100% intuitive, but that's how it works. With the button pushed in, they're held open.
