Beck/Arnley designs its parts as direct replacements for OE applications across foreign nameplates, with close attention to form, fit and function. Its product specialists work with a trusted global sourcing network to supply OE-quality parts, and each part is built to meet Beck/Arnley's own requirements and specifications.
- OE form, fit and function: Designed to match the original switch.
- Plug-in connection: Made to fit the OE wiring harness and plugs.
- Anti-corrosion terminals: Built with materials that include anti-corrosion terminals.
- Application specific: Constructed for durability and made for the listed vehicles.
The brake light switch tells the stop lamps to illuminate when the brakes are applied. Brake lights that stay on, fail to light or work only intermittently are signs the switch may need replacing. Bulbs, fuses and wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the switch.
