STOP LIGHT SWITCH

A brake light switch is an electrical component in motor vehicles that controls the activation of the brake lights when the brake pedal is pressed. It is usually located near the brake pedal and functions as a push or pull mechanism. Once the pedal is engaged, the switch closes the electrical circuit, causing the brake lights to illuminate to warn trailing traffic that the vehicle is slowing down. This switch is crucial for safety, as it timely informs other road users of potential stops or decelerations, thereby helping to prevent accidents.
