Troubleshooting
Brake lights do not illuminate after installation
Double-check the electrical connector is securely attached to the new switch. Ensure the negative battery terminal is reconnected. Verify the switch is correctly threaded and seated. Test the brake light bulbs themselves.
Brake lights stay on even when the pedal is not pressed
The switch may be installed incorrectly or may be faulty. Ensure it is not being held in a 'closed' position by an obstruction. Try reinstalling the switch, ensuring it's properly adjusted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility Check: Before installation, verify that your vehicle model and year are listed as compatible with the CI Ignition XBLS6. Cross-reference part numbers if possible.
Installation:

- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
