Detailed Description

Standard Ignition LS-216 is engineered for dependable reverse-light switching in vehicles that rely on a transmission-mounted or related back up light switch design. The copper alloy conductor material supports strong electrical conductivity, while the tested switching performance helps confirm consistent operation under service conditions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Vehicle coverage includes Chevrolet Lumina, Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and Pontiac Tempest applications. If you are replacing a worn or intermittent reverse lamp switch, LS-216 provides a service-grade option for restoring proper back up light function. Standard Ignition LS-216 is a practical choice for technicians and owners working on GM lighting and body electrical repairs.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Reverse lights that do not illuminate when shifting into reverse
• Intermittent back up lamp operation
• Electrical switching faults at the transmission switch circuit
• Corrosion or wear at the switch terminals
• Failed reverse-light signal to the rear lamp circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. The LS-216 uses a female connector with two male pin terminals, so matching the existing harness and switch interface is important for proper fitment. Confirm the reverse-light circuit functions correctly after installation and check for secure electrical contact at the terminals.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition builds this switch with service-grade materials and tests each unit for mechanical and electrical performance. The LS-216 reflects the brand’s focus on durable electrical components for professional repair work.
