Mercury Capri Brake Light Switch

The Mercury Capri Brake Light Switch activates the rear brake lights whenever the driver steps on the brake pedal to signal the car behind that the vehicle is slowing and stopping. This unit is attached under the dash on a bracket positioned so its plunger or contact touches the brake pedal arm. When the pedal moves, the Mercury Capri circuit completes through the Brake Light Switch and powers the brake lights. When the pedal is not pressed, the compact switch is at rest. When you press the pedal, the contact moves, closing the circuit. This action turns on the lamps immediately. Proper signaling is a basic safety requirement. The Mercury Capri Brake Light Switch is a direct link between pedal motion and exterior lighting without complex adjustments or extra devices. An electric connection is produced when a straightforward mechanical movement occurs, leading to the constant functioning of the Brake Light Switch each time the pedal is applied. The brake lighting system must be responsive in order to permit routine driving of the vehicle. This means that there must be a functioning Mercury Capri Brake Light Switch to prevent troubles during day-to-day driving.
