Troubleshooting

Brake lights not illuminating when the pedal is pressed.

Check the electrical connection to the switch. Verify the switch is correctly installed and making contact with the brake pedal arm. Test the switch for continuity if you have a multimeter. If the switch is faulty, replace it.

Brake lights remain illuminated even when the pedal is not pressed.

This usually indicates the switch is stuck in the 'on' position or is misadjusted. Ensure the switch is properly seated and that the brake pedal is fully returning. The switch may need adjustment or replacement.

Intermittent brake light operation.

Inspect the wiring harness for damage or loose connections. The switch itself may be failing internally. Replacing the switch is typically the solution for intermittent issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This Hella Brake Light Switch is specifically designed for various Nissan models. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's make, model, and year, and cross-reference with your original part number (Nissan: 25320-4M400 or 25320-4M40A).

Setup: Installation typically involves locating the existing brake light switch (usually near the brake pedal arm), disconnecting the electrical connector, and carefully removing the old switch.
