Keep your brake lamps signaling clearly with the Beck/Arnley Brake Light Switch 201-1344 (also written 2011344). This switch senses when the brake pedal is pressed and closes the circuit that powers the stop lamps, and on many vehicles it also signals related systems such as cruise control and the shift interlock. It's a direct-fit replacement for a long list of Volkswagen models, including the 1998-2002 Beetle, 1995-2002 Cabrio, 1985-1993 Cabriolet, 1990-1995 Corrado, 1985-2006 Golf, and 1985-2002 Jetta — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
- OE form, fit and function: engineered to replace the original switch on the listed foreign-nameplate applications.
- Correct connection: made to fit the OE wiring harness and plugs for a plug-in installation.
- Anti-corrosion terminals: built with materials that include corrosion-resistant terminals.
- Durable, application-specific build: constructed for durability and specified for this vehicle.
Signs the original switch may need replacing include brake lights that stay off, stay on, or work intermittently. If a failed brake light switch is the cause, this unit replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
