The brake light switch detects when the brake pedal is pressed, activating the brake lights and, on many vehicles, providing input to cruise control and other systems.
If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:
Brake lights not working when the pedal is pressed
Brake lights staying on constantly
Cruise control not cancelling when braking
Installation information
Mounted at the brake pedal pivot — check correct adjustment so the switch activates at the right pedal position.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
