• Activates your brake lights when you push down on the brake pedal
• An essential component of your INFINITI braking system
• May cause your brake lights to stay on or not turn on at all when damaged

Everytime you push down on the brake pedal, the Brake Light Switch illuminates your brake lights. This component, which is typically located below your dashboard and above the pedal, is essential to your INFINITI braking system.

Since your brake lights alert surrounding vehicles of your desire to slow down or stop, a damaged Brake Light Switch can put you at potential risk of a car accident. When this part becomes damaged or detaches, it might not turn on your brake lights when you press down on the pedal. In effect, your brake lights may stop working altogether and other drivers may not know your intended actions on the road.

A faulty Brake Light Switch can also lead to circuit issues, and your brake lights may stay on at all times, even when you aren’t applying the brakes. Not only could other motorists become confused about your next move on the road, the bulb in your brake light will likely burn out faster, too. A short-circuiting Brake Light Switch can also lead to battery drain, leaving you with a car that won't start up.

However, if you want to confirm whether or not your Brake Light Switch is faulty, you can test it with a digital multimeter. If you've run the test and decided that you need a new one installed, is it possible to do it on your own? Installation can be relatively easy to do depending on experience level, but different cars require different installation steps.

If you think that your Brake Light Switch is wearing out, get a replacement sooner rather than later to help prevent possible incidents that can lead to trouble on the road. Don't forget to get the right part! Replacing the Brake Light Switch with the wrong one can cause more problems than you initially had. Purchase genuine OEM car parts from INFINITI Parts to guarantee it fits your INFINITI perfectly.
