Detailed Description

Standard Ignition SLS-465 is a stoplight switch engineered as an OE replacement for vehicles that require a 2-terminal configuration. It is used to signal brake pedal input to the stoplamp circuit, helping restore proper brake light function on applications such as the Chevrolet Astra, Pontiac Matiz, and select 2000 Saturn LS and LW models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

The SLS-465 is built with durable materials to handle harsh operating conditions and is manufactured under controlled quality processes. Its direct-fit design supports accurate electrical connection and dependable switch operation in the brake pedal assembly.

Common Issues It Can Help Resolve

• Brake lights that do not illuminate when the pedal is pressed
• Intermittent stoplamp operation
• Brake light circuit faults caused by a worn switch
• Incorrect pedal signal to the stoplamp system
• Replacement needs for a damaged 2-terminal brake light switch

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. The SLS-465 uses a male connector with male blade terminals, so matching the original switch configuration is important for proper fitment. Confirm the brake pedal switch location and electrical connection points on the vehicle before replacing the original unit.
