Use Guide
- Match the size (L/M/S) and colour (purple) against the old switch before ordering
- Disconnect the battery, remove the failed switch from the brake pedal linkage, and install the replacement in the same orientation
- Test brake light activation and dashboard warning light response before releasing the vehicle
- If the brake light remains on, check the pedal linkage and earth connection before condemning the switch
