- Copper alloy conductors: Provide strong electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- Arc-reducing contacts: A special-design spring and contact arrangement reduces arcing and is designed to extend service life.
- 100% tested: Each switch is checked for both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
- Built for professionals: A robust design and high-grade materials are made to meet the demanding needs of today's service technicians.
Signs this part may need replacing include brake lights that stay on, fail to light, or work only some of the time. Bulbs, fuses and wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the switch. If a failed stoplight switch is the cause, the SLS-242 replaces it. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct installation and adjustment procedure.
