• Male pin terminals with 2-terminal design

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition LS-225 is engineered for vehicles that rely on a precise reverse light signal from the transmission or related switch location. The robust construction and tested switching performance support consistent operation in daily service, while the copper alloy conductor design helps maintain stable electrical flow. This part cross-references DR443 and NS75 for the same application. Use LS-225 when replacing a worn or intermittent back up light switch on Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Grand Am, or Oldsmobile Achieva platforms.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Reverse lights that do not illuminate when the vehicle is shifted into reverse
• Intermittent back up lamp operation
• Electrical switching issues caused by worn internal contacts
• Corrosion or damage at the switch connector or terminals
• Reverse light circuit faults traced to the switch rather than the bulbs

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. This LS-225 uses a female connector with two male pin terminals, so matching the existing harness and switch interface is important. Confirm the exact year, make, and model fitment for Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire, Pontiac Grand Am, and related GM applications before replacing the original part.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition states that this switch is fully tested for both mechanical action and electrical performance. The brand’s manufacturing focus emphasizes durable materials and service-grade construction for professional repair use.
