A parking brake switch changes state when the parking brake is applied or released. That signal typically lights the brake warning lamp on the instrument panel so the driver can see the brake is set. This Standard Ignition switch offers:
- In-house quality control: Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products and controls quality at every stage, from componentry to the finished product.
- Copper alloy conductors: Provide superior electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- Spring and contact arrangement: A special-design spring and contact layout is used to reduce arcing.
- 100% tested: Every switch is checked for both mechanical and electrical switching performance.
Robust design and high-grade materials are intended to meet the demands of today's service professional.
Signs this part may need replacing: a brake warning lamp that stays lit after the parking brake is released, or a lamp that never comes on when the brake is set. Wiring and other parts of the warning circuit can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the switch.
