FAQs

What does 'OE-quality' mean for this switch?

'OE-quality' means the part is manufactured to meet or exceed the standards set by the original equipment manufacturer, ensuring reliability and performance comparable to the original part.

Can this switch be used in both 12V and 24V systems?

Yes, the switch is rated to handle capacity at both 12V (up to 16A) and 24V (up to 8A), offering flexibility for different vehicle electrical systems.

How do I know if this switch will fit my vehicle?

You must verify fitment and measurements against your vehicle's specifications. Check the part number (6JF 001 571-161) and compatibility information provided by Hella or consult your vehicle's service manual.

What is a 'Normally Open' contact switch?

A 'Normally Open' (NO) contact means that the electrical circuit is open (not conducting) when the switch is not actuated (e.g., not pushed). When the switch is actuated, the contact closes, completing the circuit.

Does the switch come with a wiring harness?

The switch features an integrated plug for easy connection to the vehicle's existing wiring harness. The harness itself is typically part of the vehicle's original wiring.

What is the mounting type?

This switch uses a 'Bolted' mounting type, meaning it is secured to the vehicle's dashboard or panel with screws or bolts for a stable and permanent installation.

Troubleshooting

Ignition switch does not engage the starter.

Ensure the battery is connected and charged. Verify the wiring connections to the switch are secure and correct. Confirm the switch is functioning as a normally open contact and is properly actuated.

Intermittent power to ignition system.

Check for loose or corroded wiring connections at the switch and harness. Inspect the switch itself for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure the mounting is secure.

Switch feels stiff or difficult to actuate.

Verify the switch is correctly aligned with its mounting point and not being obstructed. Ensure the correct part is being used for the application, as incorrect fitment can cause resistance.
