What does a stoplight switch do?
It closes the brake light circuit when the brake pedal is applied, which turns on the stoplights. It opens the circuit again when the pedal is released.
What are signs a brake light switch may need replacing?
Signs include brake lights that stay on, won't come on or work only intermittently. Bulbs, fuses and wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the switch.
Is the Standard SLS-97 tested?
Yes. Standard tests 100% of its stoplight switches to verify both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
How does this switch handle arcing at the contacts?
It has a special-design spring and contact arrangement that helps reduce arcing. Copper alloy conductors provide electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
