Detailed Description

Standard Ignition LS-230 is a back up light switch designed for vehicles that rely on a stud-terminal switch layout. It is listed for 1979-2004 Ford Mustang, 1983-1988 Ford Thunderbird, 1985-1986 Mercury Cougar, 1981-1982 Mercury Capri, and several Jeep CJ and Wagoneer applications. This makes it a practical choice when replacing a worn reverse light switch on a Ford Mustang or related classic Ford and Jeep platforms.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition LS-230 applications with OE-style service numbers such as 1S5283 and S9215 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Reverse lights that do not illuminate when the transmission is placed in reverse
• Intermittent back up lamp operation caused by worn switch contacts
• Electrical switching issues from heat, age, or corrosion at the switch
• Hard-to-diagnose reverse light circuit faults on Ford Mustang and Jeep CJ7 models
• Replacement needs for stud-terminal back up light switch service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal layout, and vehicle-specific notes before installation. Some listed applications require attention to mounting style or case location, including 2 screw terminal and left-side-of-case configurations. For 1990-2000 and 1980-1986 Ford Mustang applications, confirm alternator compatibility before purchase as noted in the fitment data. Match the vehicle year, make, model, and switch style to the existing part before service.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition builds this switch with robust materials and validates each unit through mechanical and electrical testing. The LS-230 is engineered to meet the demands of professional service work and consistent reverse lamp switching performance.
