2003 S-Type Brake Pedal Squeaking (Solved)
Has anyone come across their brake pedal squeaking? I do not believe my problem has anything to do with the brake system itself, but more to do with the brake pedal linkage under the dash. I am getting just an annoying squeak/squish sound when the pedal is depressed and released.
I have tried to hit a few areas with some WD-40, but haven't found, or wasn't able to address the pivot area creating the noise.

Follow-up; I found the culprit to be the plastic brake light switch not seating against the plastic mount it twists into.
To rectify the problem, I unplugged the brake light switch, twisted the unit counter clockwise until it popped out of the mount.
With the switch removed I lightly coated the plastic pin and areas where the switch comes in contact with the mount with a white lithium grease.
Reinstalled, tested, and confirmed problem solved.
