What It Helps Fix

• Brake lamps that do not illuminate when the pedal is pressed
• Intermittent brake light operation caused by a worn switch
• Brake light circuit faults related to a damaged 2-terminal switch
• Pedal-actuated switch issues on Volkswagen and Audi brake systems
• Replacement needs for vehicles with a 2 blade terminal brake switch

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the connector style, terminal count, and activation type before installation. This SLS-161 uses a push-in attachment method, so the existing mounting point must match the switch body and spring-actuated design. Verify the vehicle uses a 12-volt system and a rectangular 1-connector layout with female connector and male blade terminals. For fitment-specific applications, check whether the vehicle requires a 2 terminal fitment or 2 blade terminal configuration, especially on Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, EuroVan, and related models.

Quality Assurance
