Mercury Lynx Brake Light Switch

Thus, as soon as one presses down on their brake pedal, the Mercury Lynx Brake Light Switch will activate the rear brake lamps. Not only does this warning serve to warn following drivers that one is slowing down or stopping, but it can prevent any accidents from happening. The Mercury Lynx Brake Light Switch is attached to a bracket beneath the dashboard to allow for direct contact with the brake pedal arm by the Brake Light Switch's plunger or contact. When the brake pedal moves, an electrical circuit in the switch turns on the brake lights. The device works as a simple on-off electrical switch. The pedal pressure compresses or releases the internal contact, which closes the circuit and passes current through the wiring to illuminate the bulbs. When the pedal returns, the circuit opens and the light goes out. It is very essential in warning the traffic behind the car. No alternative styles or versions have been mentioned; this description covers the sole general arrangement applied. A Mercury Lynx Brake Light Switch is designed so that the brake light should function similar to the headlight, parking light, and interior lighting circuits. Thus, it must function reliably. Just regular braking pressure is enough to engage the Mercury Lynx Brake Light Switch.
