Description

Help your brake lights come on when they should with the Standard Ignition Brake Light Switch SLS-87, a stoplight switch that turns the brake light circuit on when the brakes are applied. It fits many Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche models, among them the 1980-1984 Volkswagen Jetta, 1974-1976 Volkswagen Transporter and 1970-1976 Volkswagen Beetle, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.

Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products and keeps quality control in-house, from the componentry to the finished switch.

Copper alloy conductors: used for strong electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
Spring and contact design: a special-design spring and contact arrangement intended to reduce arcing and help extend service life.
100% tested: every switch is checked for both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
Robust build: a sturdy design and high-grade materials made for the demands of today's service professional.

If the original switch has failed and the brake lights stay dark, stay on or work only some of the time, SLS-87 replaces it. Bulbs, fuses and wiring can cause the same signs, so check them before replacing the switch.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the right 1980-1984 Volkswagen Jetta switch?

Yes. SLS-87 is listed as a direct-fit brake light switch for the 1980-1984 Volkswagen Jetta. The "Vehicles it fits" section shows every listed application.

What does a brake light switch do?

The brake light switch, also called a stoplight switch, closes the brake light circuit when the brakes are applied so the brake lights turn on. It opens the circuit again when the brakes are released.

What are signs a brake light switch may need replacing?

Brake lights that do not come on, stay on all the time or work only some of the time can be signs. Bulbs, fuses and wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the switch.

Is the SLS-87 tested before it ships?

Yes. Standard Ignition tests every stoplight switch to verify both its mechanical and its electrical switching performance.

What is inside the SLS-87 switch?

It uses copper alloy conductors for electrical conductivity with low resistive losses. A special-design spring and contact arrangement is intended to reduce arcing.
