About Brake Light Switchs

The Mercedes-Benz brake light switch is part of the braking system and is attached to the vehicles’ brake lights. These lights are essential as they warn other road users of your intention to brake. If they are faulty, this could potentially cause a road traffic accident.

The Mercedes-Benz brake light switch is operated by a plunger and contact switch on the brake pedal and sends a signal to the brake lights to operate them when the driver presses on the brakes.

If the Mercedes-Benz brake light switch is faulty, the brake lights will not light. You may also have a warning light on your dashboard to indicate an issue with the brakes. Failure of a Mercedes-Benz brake light switch can result in brake lights automatically lighting, regardless of whether the brakes are in use or not and regardless of whether the vehicle is turned on or not. In addition, you could experience problems in changing gears and starting the vehicle from a dead stop.

If you replace the Mercedes-Benz brake light switch, you should also check the fuses to ensure that they have not blown. If they have they will also need to be replaced.

Mercedes-Benz trivia

• That new car smell is always a delight, but a Mercedes owner gets to choose that smell. Perfume specialist Marc vom Ende created four different car smells for Mercedes Benz, called Sports Mood, Freeside Mood, Downtown Mood, and Nightlife Mood. They all smell a bit leathery.
• The Popemobile is a Mercedes Benz M-Class SUV. It's not a standard model, however, and has some added features like an inbuilt oxygen system and bulletproof glass.
• Karl Benz obviously gave his name to the company, but the Mercedes part of the name comes from the daughter of his customer and friend, Emil Jellinek. Her name was (obviously) Mercedes, and it's still surprising that her name remains so attached to the iconic car brand.
• In 1924, Mercedes Benz became the first car manufacturer to include brakes on all four of a car's wheels. Not long after, in 1931, they also added suspension springs to the corners of the Mercedes Benz 170.
• Karl Benz might have patented the design of his Motorwagen in 1886, but it was his wife who jumped behind the wheel first for a quick (as quick a 0.9hp will deliver) 120-mile tour through the countryside of Germany. Poor Karl didn't even know!
