Standard Ignition SLS-153 Brake Light Switch

Brake Light Switch for Cruise Control Applications

The Standard Ignition SLS-153 brake light switch is built for vehicles that rely on a precise stoplamp signal and cruise control cancel function. It uses a durable plastic housing, copper alloy conductors, and a contact design that helps reduce arcing for consistent electrical performance.

Compatible With 1989-1994 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 1990-1994 GMC Jimmy, and other listed GM trucks and vans with cruise control, this brake light switch is a direct service part for restoring stoplight operation. The SLS-153 is also a common cross-reference for select OE and aftermarket numbers.

Key Features

• Brake light switch for cruise control-equipped applications
• Plastic housing with black and cream finish
• Female connector with 1 connector interface
• Male blade terminals, 2 + 2 terminal layout

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition SLS-153 is a stoplight switch designed for service on GM vehicles where the brake pedal signal must operate both the brake lamps and cruise control cancel circuit. The switch construction uses high-grade materials and a robust housing to handle repeated pedal cycling, while the internal contact arrangement supports stable switching over time. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 1S5184, 3C6) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Brake lamps that do not activate when the pedal is pressed
• Cruise control that does not disengage with brake application
• Intermittent stoplight operation caused by worn switch contacts
• Electrical switching issues from heat or arcing at the contacts
• Fault codes or drivability complaints tied to brake pedal signal loss

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal layout, and vehicle application before installation. This SLS-153 brake light switch is intended for the listed GM models with cruise control, so confirm the original switch configuration matches the vehicle’s wiring and pedal assembly before replacement.

After installation, test brake lamp operation and cruise control cancel function to confirm proper switching. If the brake lights remain inoperative, inspect the related fuse, wiring, and pedal adjustment before assuming the switch is the only fault.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures this switch with complete process control from component selection through final production. Each unit is 100% tested to verify mechanical action and electrical switching performance, supporting consistent service results for the SLS-153.
