Help drivers behind you see when you brake with the Standard Ignition SLS-244 Brake Light Switch. This stoplight switch turns the brake lights on when the brakes are applied and off when they are released. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2003-2012 Nissan Altima, 2001-2009 Nissan Sentra and 2005-2019 Nissan Frontier, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.

As a global maker of original equipment ignition products, Standard keeps quality control across the whole manufacturing process, from the individual components to the finished switch.
A brake light switch may need replacing if the brake lights stay on, don't light when you press the pedal, or work only some of the time. Bulbs, fuses and wiring can cause the same signs, so diagnose the cause first. If a failed switch is behind the problem, this brake light switch for the 2003-2012 Nissan Altima and the other listed models replaces it.
