Keep your brake lamps signaling and your cruise control releasing on cue with the Standard Ignition Brake Light Switch / Cruise Control Release Switch SLS-240. This stoplight switch senses brake-pedal application to trigger the stop lamps and to disengage the cruise control when you press the brake. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2003 Ford Escort and 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine-level details.
If a failed switch is the cause of brake lights that stay dark, stay on, or cruise control that won't cancel at the pedal, this replaces the original component. Standard Ignition maintains quality control across the manufacturing process, from componentry to finished product, to meet the demands of today's service professional.
