Detailed Description
Standard Ignition SLS-238 is engineered for vehicles that need consistent brake pedal signal transfer to the rear stop lamps and related electrical circuits. The switch design uses durable housing materials and copper alloy conductors to support stable conductivity, while the internal contact arrangement is built to limit arcing during repeated pedal use. This makes SLS-238 a practical replacement for Buick Rendezvous and Pontiac Aztek brake light switch service, especially when diagnosing intermittent stoplamp operation or switch-related electrical faults.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Brake lights that do not illuminate when the pedal is pressed
- Intermittent stoplamp operation
- Brake switch electrical signal loss
- Cracked or worn switch housing
- Switch contact wear from repeated cycling
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector style, terminal count, and switch mounting location before installation. Confirm the brake pedal switch adjustment and electrical connector engagement after replacement so the stoplamp circuit operates correctly. For fitment, this part fits 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous and 2001-2005 Pontiac Aztek.
