FAQs
What does 'Normally Closed Contact' mean for this switch?
A normally closed (NC) switch means that the electrical circuit is completed (closed) when the brake pedal is *not* pressed. When you press the brake pedal, the switch opens the circuit, which signals the vehicle's computer or directly turns off the brake lights (depending on the vehicle system).
How do I know if my brake light switch needs replacement?
Common signs include your brake lights not turning on at all, staying on constantly, or flickering intermittently. If your brake light warning light is illuminated on the dashboard, it could also indicate a faulty switch.
Can I use this switch on any vehicle?
No, this is a specific part number (6DD 008 622-951) designed for particular vehicle makes, models, and years, as listed in the compatibility chart. It is crucial to verify your vehicle's requirements before purchasing.
What tools are needed for installation?
Basic hand tools such as wrenches or sockets to remove the mounting hardware and potentially a flathead screwdriver or trim removal tool to help disconnect the electrical connector or release clips might be needed. A multimeter is useful for testing.
Where is the brake light switch located?
The brake light switch is typically mounted on the brake pedal arm, just above the pedal itself. It is activated by the movement of the brake pedal.
What is the difference between this and a 'Normally Open' switch?
A normally open (NO) switch has its circuit broken (open) when the pedal is not pressed and completes the circuit (closes) when the pedal is pressed. Brake light switches are almost universally normally closed.
Troubleshooting
Brake lights not turning on
Check the electrical connection to the switch. Verify the switch is correctly installed and adjusted. Test the switch's electrical continuity with a multimeter. Ensure brake bulbs are not burnt out. If the switch fails testing, it likely needs replacement.
Brake lights stay on constantly
This usually indicates a faulty switch or a problem with the brake pedal mechanism not returning fully. Inspect the switch for damage or incorrect adjustment. Test the switch's electrical function; a normally closed switch that remains closed when the pedal is released is defective.
Intermittent brake light function
Check for loose wiring or corrosion at the switch connector. The switch itself may be failing due to internal wear. Replacing the switch is often the solution for intermittent issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation typically involves locating the existing brake light switch on your vehicle's brake pedal assembly, disconnecting the electrical connector, removing the old switch (often by unbolting or releasing a retaining clip), and installing the new Hella switch in its place. Reconnect the electrical connector. It is recommended to have this component installed by a qualified mechanic if you are not familiar with automotive electrical systems.
Compatibility: IMPORTANT: Before purchasing, carefully verify fitment using the provided vehicle compatibility list and compare measurements and dimensions with your existing switch. Variations can exist even within the same vehicle model. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional if unsure.
Care: As an electrical component, the brake light switch requires no regular user maintenance. However, keeping the area around the brake pedal clean can help prevent debris from interfering with its operation. Ensure electrical connections remain clean and secure.
