Product Details

Standard Ignition SLS-247 is engineered for vehicles that rely on accurate brake pedal signal input to activate the stop lamps. The switch construction uses high-grade materials and a robust housing design to handle daily service demands. Its contact arrangement is built to limit arcing, while copper alloy conductors support consistent current flow. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Compatible fitment includes 1999-2003 Ford F-150, 1998-2012 Ford Ranger, and 1998-2010 Mazda B4000 applications, along with other listed Ford truck and SUV platforms.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. Confirm the brake pedal switch location and compare the original part to Standard Ignition SLS-247 for terminal layout and housing style. For fitment-specific service, use the vehicle listing to match your Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford Expedition, or Mazda B2300 application exactly. After installation, test brake lamp operation and pedal switch response before returning the vehicle to service.
