Keep your brake lights responding the instant you press the pedal with the Standard Ignition Brake Light Switch SLS-356. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2013 Mazda 2, 2004-2010 Mazda 3, 2006-2010 and 2012 Mazda 5, and the 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata.
Mounted at the brake pedal, this switch closes an electrical circuit when the pedal is depressed, sending the signal that powers the brake lamps. On many vehicles the same switch also feeds inputs used by the cruise control and, where equipped, the shift-interlock and stability systems, so a clean, positive switching action matters.
Diagnose the underlying cause before replacing, as these symptoms can have other sources. Manufacturer part number SLS-356 (also SLS356).
What does this brake light switch do?
It mounts at the brake pedal and closes the brake-light circuit when the pedal is pressed, signaling the brake lamps to illuminate.
Which vehicles does the SLS-356 fit?
It fits the 2011-2013 Mazda 2, 2004-2010 Mazda 3, 2006-2010 and 2012 Mazda 5, and the 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
What are signs my brake light switch may be failing?
Brake lights that don't turn on, lights that stay on, or cruise control that won't engage. Diagnose the cause first; if the switch is at fault, this replaces it.
Can a bad brake light switch affect cruise control?
On many vehicles the switch also feeds cruise control and interlock inputs, so a faulty switch can affect those systems. Confirm the cause before replacing.
Is this a direct-fit replacement?
Yes. The SLS-356 is designed to install in place of the original brake light switch on the listed Mazda applications.
