Help your brake lights come on the moment you press the pedal with the Standard Ignition Brake Light Switch, part number SLS-97. This stoplight switch closes the brake light circuit when the brake pedal is applied and opens it again on release. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1990-1993 Ford F-150, 1990-1993 Ford F-250 and 1983 Ford Ranger, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

  • Controlled manufacturing: Standard is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products and keeps complete quality control throughout manufacturing, from componentry to finished product.
  • Copper alloy conductors: Provide electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
  • Arc-reducing contacts: A special-design spring and contact arrangement helps reduce arcing and is intended to extend service life.
  • 100% tested: Every switch is checked to verify both its mechanical and its electrical switching performance.

The switch uses a robust design and high-grade materials, built for the demands of today's service professional. If a worn or failed stoplight switch is behind brake lights that stay on, won't light or flicker, this unit replaces it. Check bulbs, fuses and wiring as part of your diagnosis before you replace the switch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work as a 1983 Ford Ranger switch for my brake lights?

Yes. SLS-97 is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1983 Ford Ranger. It also fits the 1990-1993 Ford F-150 and 1990-1993 Ford F-250. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

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.
