Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Why won't my car shift out of park when this switch is broken? A: Many vehicles use the brake switch signal to release the shift lock mechanism. If the switch fails to register that you are pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle safety system will lock the transmission gear shifter in place.

Q: Does this switch require calibration during installation? A: This style of plunger switch typically self-adjusts when first installed. Once twisted into the bracket, gently pulling the brake pedal back to its resting position sets the correct plunger length.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
