FAQs
What vehicles is this brake light switch compatible with?
This switch is designed to replace Jaguar OEM part C5218 and is suitable for models such as the Austin-Healey 3000 MK.III and Jaguar Mk I and Mk II. Always verify your vehicle's specific requirements.
What is the thread size of this switch?
The thread size is 1/8" x 27 NPTF, which is a standard size for many hydraulic brake systems.
How do I know if I need to replace my brake light switch?
If your brake lights are not working, or are stuck on, and you have ruled out bulb or fuse issues, the brake light switch is a likely culprit.
Does this switch require any special tools for installation?
Basic tools are needed, including a spanner (22mm) to thread the switch and potentially tools to disconnect the electrical connector. Ensure you have appropriate safety equipment.
Can I use this switch on any vehicle with hydraulic brakes?
While it has a standard thread size, its compatibility is specifically for vehicles that use Jaguar part C5218 or have compatible port threading. It is not a universal fit for all hydraulic brake systems.
What is the length of the switch?
The switch has a length of 37mm.
What type of connector does it have?
It features a standard 2-pin electrical connector.
Troubleshooting
Brake lights do not illuminate when the pedal is pressed.
Check the 2-pin electrical connection for secure fit and corrosion. Verify brake fluid level is adequate. Test the switch continuity with a multimeter (requires advanced knowledge). Ensure the switch is correctly threaded and tightened.
Brake lights remain illuminated even when the pedal is not pressed.
The switch may be stuck in the closed position. Check for debris hindering its movement. Ensure proper installation and that it is not binding.
Switch leaks brake fluid.
Ensure the switch is tightened appropriately to the brake system port. Check the sealing surface for damage. If leakage persists, the switch may be faulty and require replacement.
Incorrect thread size prevents installation.
Verify that the thread size (1/8" x 27 NPTF) matches the vehicle's brake system port. If not, this switch is not compatible with your specific application.
