- Copper alloy conductors: deliver strong electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- 100% tested: verified for both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
- Robust build: high-grade materials made to meet the demands of today's service professional.
- OE-grade quality control: built by a global manufacturer of original-equipment ignition products with control maintained throughout production.
If a worn or unresponsive switch is the cause of a liftgate that won't release when pressed, this replaces it. Signs the original may need replacing include a rear gate that won't open on the first press, or one that responds only intermittently. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other components can also be at fault.
