Detailed Description

Beck Arnley Part Number 201-1087 is a brake light switch engineered for select classic import vehicles, including Porsche 911, Volkswagen Beetle, Volkswagen Vanagon, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Quantum, and Audi 4000 applications. Beck Arnley sources parts to match foreign OE specifications for form, fit, and function, helping ensure the switch installs correctly and operates as expected in the brake light circuit.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

  • Brake lamps that do not illuminate when the pedal is pressed
  • Intermittent brake light operation caused by a worn switch
  • Electrical contact issues in the brake light circuit
  • Replacement needs for a 2-pin switch in the master cylinder area
  • Restoration work on older Porsche, Volkswagen, and Audi models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses a 2-prong brake light switch before ordering. Confirm the mounting style and master cylinder switch location match the original part, since this unit uses a screw-on attachment method and does not include a bracket. Always compare the connector style and physical dimensions to the removed switch before installation.
