Detailed Description

Standard Ignition LS-226 is a replacement back up light switch for vehicles that rely on a precise reverse-light signal at the transmission or related switch location. It is built with durable materials and tested to verify switching action and electrical continuity, helping restore proper reverse lamp operation on applications such as 1982-1986 Dodge Colt, 1983-1988 Mitsubishi Cordia, 1983-1988 Mitsubishi Tredia, 1985-1986 Mitsubishi Mirage, and 1988-1991 Dodge Colt. This part number, LS-226, is also referenced in service and interchange listings for related OE-style applications.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition LS-226 interchange numbers such as 1S5867 and 53-11753 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Reverse lights that do not illuminate when shifting into backup
• Intermittent back up lamp operation
• Electrical switching issues at the transmission switch circuit
• Corrosion or wear at the switch terminals
• Faulty reverse-light signal to the vehicle lighting system

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal type, and vehicle application before installation. LS-226 uses a female connector with two blade terminals, so matching the harness and switch interface is important for proper fitment. Confirm the switch location and adjustment procedure for the specific Dodge Colt or Mitsubishi model before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition states that this switch is built with robust materials, copper alloy conductors, and full mechanical and electrical testing to support consistent service performance.
