Brake Light Switches for All Makes & Models

At A-Z Motor Factors Halifax, we supply reliable brake light switches designed to activate your rear brake lights the moment you press the pedal. A working brake light switch is essential for safe driving, correct brake signalling and MOT compliance.

What Is a Brake Light Switch?

A brake light switch (also known as a stop light switch) is an electrical component fitted to the brake pedal or hydraulic system. It:

• Activates the rear brake lights

• Sends signals to the ABS/ESP system

• Communicates with cruise control on many vehicles

• Helps automatic transmissions know when the brake is pressed

When faulty, it can cause serious safety and electrical issues.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Brake Light Switch

Replace your switch if you experience:

• Brake lights not working

• Brake lights staying on constantly

• ABS or ESP warning lights

• Cruise control not engaging

• Gearshift stuck (on some automatic vehicles)

• MOT failure due to brake light faults

A faulty brake light switch is one of the most common MOT issues and must be replaced immediately.
