Procedure for replacing the stop light switch
The stop light switch is equipped with an integrated mechanical adjustment device and must therefore not be operated before installation (Fig. 2)! An electrical test is only possible after installation in the vehicle pedals has been completed.
Removal (Fig. 3):
- Switch off the ignition
- Disconnect the electrical plug connection by pressing down the locking device on the connector housing
- Turn the stop light switch anticlockwise by 45° to the left and pull it out of the mounting hole
Installation (Fig. 4):
the brake pedal must not be operated during the installation process!
- Before installing, slightly coat the plunger head (tip) of the switch with a suitable grease
- Carefully insert the new stop light switch into the mounting hole until the plunger head rests against the brake pedal
- Then using a slight amount of pressure, press the stop light switch in and turn it 45 degrees to the right. The positioning is correct when it is heard clicking into place.
- Finally reconnect the electrical connection
Depending on the vehicle model, it may be necessary to read out the error memory of the higher-level control unit and to delete any errors stored before the functional test of the stop light switch is carried out.
Perform functional check
- Switch on the ignition and check the function of the stop light on the rear lamps by depressing the brake pedal several times.
Always observe the installation instructions! (Fig. 5)
