Keep your brake lights signaling on cue with the Standard Ignition Brake Light Switch (P/N SLS-216). This switch mounts at the brake pedal and completes the electrical circuit that turns on the rear brake lamps the moment the pedal is pressed, and opens it again when you let off. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a wide GM and Acura lineup, including the 1998-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am, 1996-1999 Buick LeSabre, 1996-1999 Cadillac DeVille, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion and the 1999-2001 Acura Integra — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 27 applications.
- Pedal-actuated switching: triggers the brake lamp circuit as the pedal moves, then opens the circuit on release.
- Direct-fit design: installs in the listed applications as a replacement for a worn or failed original switch.
- Signs it may need replacing: brake lights that stay off, stay on, or work intermittently. If a failed brake light switch is the cause, this replaces it — diagnose the circuit first, since other components can produce the same symptoms.
