A brake light switch responds to brake pedal movement and switches the brake lamp circuit, so the lights come on when you apply the brakes and go off when you release the pedal. If a failed or malfunctioning original switch is why your brake lights stay dark, stay lit or work only some of the time, this unit is designed to replace it.
Check the bulbs, fuses and wiring before replacing the switch, and follow the vehicle service information for removal and installation.
