Mobile Brake Light Switch Replacement at Home of Office
The brake light switch in your vehicle functions as a relay switch. When you press the brake pedal, this switch sends a signal to activate the brake lights. It's a straightforward component powered by a single electrical cable. Over time, the brake light switch can malfunction, causing the brake lights to not function properly. This can lead to accidents and potential legal consequences. It's important to first check the brake light bulbs for damage, as broken bulbs can mimic a faulty switch. If the bulbs are intact, then the brake light switch is likely the issue. Schedule an appointment with MyMechanic Malaysia mobile mechanic today for a quick resolution.
