Stop Lamp Switch - Description

DESCRIPTION

The brake (or stop) lamp switch is a spring-loaded, plunger actuated switch that is secured to the brake pedal support bracket under the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle. The molded plastic switch housing has an integral connector receptacle that is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out of the body wire harness.

The switch plunger extends through a mounting collar on one end of the switch housing. The plunger has a telescoping self-adjustment feature that is activated as the switch is being installed.

The brake lamp switch cannot be repaired. If the switch is damaged or ineffective it must be replaced with a new unit.
