Standard Ignition LS-213 Back Up Light Switch

Back Up Light Switch for Ford Applications

Standard Ignition LS-213 is a screw-in back up light switch built for dependable reverse-light operation in select Ford trucks and vans. It uses copper alloy conductors for strong electrical conductivity and low resistive loss, with a metal and plastic finish and a gray housing for service replacement use.

Compatible With 1983-1989 Ford Ranger, 1984-1989 Ford Bronco II, and 1986-1989 Ford Aerostar applications, this LS-213 switch is a direct-fit electrical service part for vehicles that need accurate reverse signal switching. Standard Ignition LS-213 is 100% tested for mechanical and electrical switching performance before release.

Key Features

• Back up light switch for reverse lamp circuit operation
• Screw-in mounting type for service replacement applications
• Female connector with round connector shape
• 2 male terminals for electrical connection
• Steel construction with metal and plastic finish
• Copper alloy conductors for low-resistance electrical flow
• Tested for mechanical and electrical switching performance

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition LS-213 is engineered for vehicles that rely on a mechanically actuated reverse light switch to signal the backup lamp circuit. The design focuses on stable electrical contact, durable materials, and consistent switching action for routine repair work. This part cross-references applications such as 1S5313 and 53-11651 for the same use case. For technicians servicing Ford Ranger, Ford Bronco II, or Ford Aerostar models, LS-213 provides a practical replacement option when the original switch no longer activates the reverse lights correctly.

Common Issues This Part Can Solve

• Reverse lights do not illuminate when the transmission is placed in reverse
• Backup lamps stay on intermittently or fail to switch consistently
• Electrical contact wear inside the original switch
• Corrosion or damage at the switch connector or terminals
• Service replacement needed for a worn screw-in back up light switch

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and screw-in mounting location before installation. Inspect the reverse-light circuit, connector terminals, and surrounding wiring for corrosion or damage during replacement. Confirm proper switch adjustment and function after installation so the backup lamps operate only in reverse.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition builds this switch with service-focused materials and tests each unit for mechanical and electrical performance. The LS-213 is backed by the brand’s long-standing electrical parts development and validation process.
