This switch is designed for 12-volt vehicle electrical systems.
The thread size is M10x1, and the required spanner size is 22mm.
The switch features a 2-pin connector.
No, this switch is specifically designed for hydraulic brake systems and operates as a normally open contact switch.
Yes, if you are comfortable working with vehicle brake systems and have the necessary tools. However, if you are unsure, it is recommended to have a qualified mechanic perform the installation.
The switch relies on hydraulic pressure. If brake fluid is critically low, the pressure may not build sufficiently to activate the switch reliably.
You should check your vehicle's repair manual or consult a mechanic to confirm the original part number, thread size, spanner size, and operating mode (hydraulic, normally open contact) of your existing brake light switch.
Check the electrical connector is securely attached. Verify the 12V supply to the switch and ensure the brake pedal is fully depressed. Confirm the switch is correctly threaded and tightened. If the problem persists, the brake system may need bleeding, or the new switch might be faulty (test continuity).
The switch may be stuck in the closed position or installed incorrectly. Ensure it is not overtightened and that there is no obstruction preventing it from returning to its 'normally open' state when the brake pedal is released. Check for debris around the switch mechanism.
Inspect the wiring and connector for corrosion or damage. Ensure a solid connection. The switch itself might be failing; consider testing for consistent electrical contact under pressure.
Compatibility: This switch is compatible with a wide range of vehicles including various VW Golf, Transporter, Polo, Passat, Jetta, and Derby models, as well as Audi 100 and 80 series, Skoda 100 Limousine, and several Porsche 911, 914, and 912 variants. Always verify that your vehicle uses a hydraulic brake light switch with an M10x1 thread and requires a 22mm spanner size.
Setup: Installation requires accessing the brake light switch port on your vehicle's hydraulic brake system. Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the parking brake engaged. Disconnect the battery before commencing work. Carefully unscrew the old switch using a 22mm spanner and disconnect the electrical connector. Screw in the new Hella switch, ensuring it is hand-tightened initially, then secured with the spanner to the specified torque (consult vehicle manual if available). Reconnect the electrical connector. After installation, reconnect the battery and test the brake lights by pressing the brake pedal. Bleeding the brake system may be necessary after installation to remove any air introduced.
Care: This switch is a sealed unit and generally requires no user maintenance. Keep the area around the switch clean. Avoid exposing the electrical connector to excessive moisture or corrosive substances. Regular checks of brake light functionality are recommended.
