yes, the brass wedge keeps the switch in place... it goes between the rear of the switch and the housing, keeping the switch in the hole (it's in the hole!). A dab of silicone on it is a good idea too.
Front handlebar stoplight switch replacement help
'04 Softail Standard--I am trying to replace the front brake switch. Does anyone have a detailed blowup of front brake light switch installation? I have factory manual but it is not detailed enough. There is a small brass wedge like piece of metal that "flew" out when I took it apart--cannot figure our where it goes. Put new switch in but too loose in it's seat--maybe that piece (see photo) is a wedge to take up room between the switch and the housing?

you have to push it down with a pick or something to get it seated well....and yes a dap of silicone is not a bad idea...make sure the connections you made are good and covered well beacause thats where the electrical demons begin...good luck
Thanks
