Help your brake lights respond every time the brakes are applied with the Standard Ignition Brake Light Switch, part number SLS-197. This stoplight switch closes the brake-light circuit when you brake. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2005 Ford Explorer, 2005 Lincoln Aviator and 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
- Copper alloy conductors: provide strong electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- Arc-reducing contacts: a specially designed spring and contact arrangement reduces arcing, aimed at extended service life.
- 100% tested: each switch is checked for both its mechanical and its electrical switching performance.
- Quality control: Standard Ignition, a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products, maintains quality control from componentry through to the finished product.
The switch has a robust design and high-grade materials for the demands of today's professional technicians. Signs that a stoplight switch may need replacing include brake lights that stay on, brake lights that fail to light, and brake lights that work only intermittently. Blown bulbs, fuses or wiring faults can cause the same signs, so diagnose the circuit before replacing the switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work as a 2005 Lincoln Aviator switch for the brake lights?
Yes. The SLS-197 stoplight switch is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005 Lincoln Aviator.
Does it fit as a Ford Explorer switch for the 2005 model year?
Yes. It is listed for the 2005 Ford Explorer and the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer. The "Vehicles it fits" section shows every listed application.
What does a brake light switch do?
It closes the stoplight circuit when the brakes are applied, which sends power to the brake lights. It opens the circuit again when the brakes are released.
What are signs the stoplight switch may need replacing?
Brake lights that stay on, don't light, or work only intermittently. Bulbs, fuses and wiring can cause the same signs, so diagnose the circuit first.
How is this switch built and tested?
It uses copper alloy conductors for low resistive losses and a special spring and contact design that reduces arcing. Every unit is 100% tested for mechanical and electrical switching.
