What is brake light switch?
A brake light switch is an electrical switch that turns your brake lights on when you hit the brakes. It's an integral part of your braking system and lets the driver behind you know that you're slowing down.
Why Should brake light switch Be Serviced?
If your brake switch malfunctions, the rear brake lights won't illuminate, and the driver behind you won't know that you're slowing down, causing a major safety hazard.
When Should brake light switch Be Serviced?
- Brake lights stay on. If your brake lights remain illuminated even when you’re not pressing the brake pedal, it’s a clear sign of a failing brake light switch. This not only poses a risk to your safety but also drains your vehicle’s battery.
- Brake lights don’t illuminate. On the flip side, if your brake lights don’t come on when you press the brake pedal, it’s another indicator of a malfunctioning switch. This can lead to rear-end collisions since drivers won’t be aware you’re stopping.
- Inconsistent brake light operation. Sometimes, a faulty switch may cause your brake lights to work intermittently. This inconsistency can confuse drivers behind you and make your intentions unclear.
- Cruise control issues. If your cruise control behaves erratically or fails to disengage, it could be linked to a failing switch.
How dose brake light switch work?
The brake switch is actually a simple electric switch, it contains contact terminals and a spring that sends an electrical signal to the circuit. This spring inside the sensor pushes the contact terminals when the brake pedal is pressed and makes contact.
