Detailed Description

Standard Ignition SLS-242 is a direct-fit brake light switch assembly for vehicles that use a push-in mounted stoplight switch. It is listed for a wide range of Honda and Acura models, including 2003-2012 Honda Accord, 2007-2013 Honda Civic, 2005-2013 Honda Odyssey, 2005-2013 Honda Pilot, 2007-2013 Honda Ridgeline, 2013-2015 Acura ILX, 2013-2015 Acura RDX, and 2005-2013 Acura TSX.

Because brake light switch operation affects stoplamp function and related pedal-switch signaling, correct connector style, terminal count, and mounting style matter. SLS-242 is a complete assembly with a single rectangular connector and bracket support, making it a practical replacement for vehicles that require the specified Honda and Acura brake switch configuration.

• Brake lamps that stay on after the pedal is released
• Brake lights that do not illuminate when the pedal is pressed
• Intermittent stoplight operation from a worn switch

• Pedal switch electrical faults on listed Honda and Acura models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style against the original switch before installation. This SLS-242 uses a push-in attachment and includes a mounting bracket, but no wiring harness or mounting hardware is included. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment notes, including applications marked for thread type, round body, or cruise control-related use, before ordering.
