Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition SLS-216 brake light switch is engineered with durable housing materials and internal contact design intended to handle repeated pedal-actuation cycles. Brass or high-impact composite housing construction, depending on application, supports long-term service in the brake pedal switch circuit. This part is used to trigger the stop lamps when the brake pedal is pressed, helping restore proper brake light operation on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Cobalt, Chevrolet Equinox, Saturn Ion, and Saturn Vue. This part cross-references Dorman 1S5221 and Standard Motor Products S37021 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Brake lights that do not illuminate when the pedal is pressed
• Intermittent stoplamp operation
• Brake light circuit switching faults
• Electrical contact wear from repeated use
• Signal loss at the brake pedal switch
