Standard Ignition SLS-240 Cruise Control Release Switch

Standard Ignition SLS-240 Cruise Control Release Switch

The Standard Ignition SLS-240 is a cruise control release switch built for direct service on select Ford and Mercury applications. It uses a female connector, one connector, male blade terminals, and a two-terminal layout for a straightforward electrical connection at the brake pedal area.

Key Features

• Female connector with 1 connector interface
• Male blade terminals for secure electrical contact
• 2-terminal design for brake pedal switch circuits
• Built with copper alloy conductors for low-resistance electrical flow
• 100% tested for mechanical and electrical switching performance
• Standard Ignition part number SLS-240 for service replacement lookup

Application Details

This cruise control release switch is used in brake pedal-mounted systems on select 1997-2003 Ford Escort and 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer models. It is listed for vehicles with cruise control and for brake light switch applications mounted to the brake pedal. The SLS-240 is a direct-fit service part for Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer brake pedal switch service where the original switch needs replacement.

This part cross-references 1S5400 and F7CZ13480CA for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Cruise control that does not disengage when the brake pedal is pressed
• Brake light switch faults tied to pedal-mounted switch operation
• Intermittent electrical contact at the brake pedal switch
• Warning lights or cruise system behavior caused by switch wear
• Switch replacement needs on Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer brake pedal assemblies

Installation Notes

Verify the connector style, terminal layout, and pedal-mounted location before installation. Confirm vehicle year, make, model, and cruise control equipment against the fitment listing for 1997-2003 Ford Escort and 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer. Inspect the mating connector and brake pedal switch mounting point for wear or damage before connecting the new switch.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition uses controlled manufacturing processes and tests each part for switching performance. The SLS-240 is built with durable housing materials and contact design intended to support consistent electrical operation in service use.
