Brakelight Switch. Switch ASCD Cancel. Switch Stop Lamp 99.
Brake Light Switch.

• Activates your brake lights when you push down on the brake pedal
• An essential component of your Nissan 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 helps to illuminate your brake lights. This component, which is commonly located below your dashboard and above the brake pedal, is important to your braking system.

Because brake lights notify nearby 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 component becomes damaged or disconnected, it might not illuminate your brake lights when you engage the pedal. In effect, your brake lights may stop functioning altogether and other drivers may not know your intended actions on the road.

A damaged Brake Light Switch may also lead to circuit issues, and your brake lights may stay illuminated at all times, even when you're not pressing down on the brakes. Not only could other drivers behind you not know your intent on the road, the bulb in your brake light will likely burn out quicker, too. A Brake Light Switch that's short circuiting can also drain your Nissan's battery, potentially leaving you and your passengers stranded with a vehicle that won't start.

However, if you suspect your Brake Light Switch isn't working properly, you can test it using a digital multimeter. But if you've ran the test and determined it needs to be replaced, can you do it on your own? Installation can be relatively easy depending on your experience with this kind of job, but different vehicles may involve different installation practices.

If you think that your Brake Light Switch is damaged, replace it immediately to help prevent future incidents. Just make sure you get the right part! Installing the wrong Brake Light Switch type can leave you with more issues than you started with. Purchase genuine OEM components from Nissan Parts to make sure your new Brake Light Switch fits your vehicle.
