Standard Ignition Parking Brake Switch P/N:DS-2429
Give your parking brake warning light a dependable signal with the Standard Parking Brake Switch DS-890. It tells the brake warning light when the parking brake is set. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2003-2005 Dodge Ram 1500, 1997-1999 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1997-2005 Dodge Dakota, and it is a direct-fit replacement for the listed Chrysler, Dodge, Eagle and Plymouth applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
When the parking brake is applied or released, the switch changes state and switches the warning-light circuit on or off, so the driver can see whether the brake is still engaged.
Signs this switch may need replacing include a brake warning light that stays on after the parking brake is released, or one that does not light when the brake is set. Other brake-warning inputs or a wiring fault can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the circuit before replacing the switch.
