Usage & Installation Notes

  1. Verify Compatibility Before Purchase
    Confirm fitment using:

    • Exact truck model and year

    • VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)

    • Physical inspection of existing switch (connector type, plunger orientation)

  2. Disconnect Battery Before Installation

    • Always disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before working on any electrical system.

    • Prevents short circuits and accidental lighting issues.

  3. Professional Installation Recommended

    • Although relatively simple, improper installation can lead to brake lights staying on, not turning on, or intermittent operation.

    • Ensure proper alignment with brake pedal linkage.

  4. Adjust Switch Position After Installation

    • Too deep: Lights stay on even when pedal is released

    • Too shallow: Delayed or failed activation

    • Many brake light switches require fine adjustment after mounting:

    • Adjust so that the brake lights turn on immediately upon slight pedal movement

  5. Test All Brake Light Functions
    After installation, test:

    • Both upper and lower brake lights

    • Center high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL)

    • Operation with trailer connected (if applicable)

  6. Check for Error Messages (on CAN-equipped Trucks)
    On modern digital dashboards, a faulty or misaligned brake switch may trigger warning icons or messages (e.g., “Brake System Fault”).

  7. Avoid Oil/Grease Contamination
    Do not lubricate the switch plunger or body — grease attracts dirt and can interfere with operation.

  8. Inspect Mounting Bracket
    Ensure the bracket holding the switch is secure and undamaged — loose brackets cause inconsistent triggering.

  9. Replace if Damaged or Corroded
    Internal corrosion or broken plastic housings compromise safety — never reuse damaged units.
