FAQs

What does the 4-pin connector do?

The 4-pin connector allows for multiple signal paths, typically providing inputs for the brake lights, cruise control deactivation, and the engine control module.

Does this switch require professional installation?

While installation is straightforward, it is recommended to have basic mechanical knowledge as it involves working in the tight space under the dashboard.

Can I use this on any vehicle?

No, this part is specific to vehicles requiring an Intermotor 51564 configuration. Please check your vehicle manual or part compatibility list.

How do I know if my brake light switch is failing?

Common signs include brake lights not turning on, lights staying on when the pedal is released, or cruise control failing to disengage.

Is the switch adjustable?

Yes, many installations require the switch to be threaded in or out to match the specific pedal height of the vehicle.

Troubleshooting

Brake lights remain on constantly

Check if the switch plunger is stuck or if the switch requires adjustment to ensure it fully retracts when the pedal is released.

Brake lights do not illuminate

Verify the 4-pin connector is fully seated and check the vehicle's brake light fuse for a potential blow.

Intermittent brake light function

Inspect the wiring harness near the switch for frayed wires or oxidation on the connector pins.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Intermotor 51564 requires accessing the underside of the dashboard near the brake pedal assembly. Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the ignition off and the negative battery terminal disconnected to prevent accidental short-circuiting. To install, remove the old switch by disconnecting the 4-pin plug and unscrewing the mounting nut. Insert the new switch, adjust the plunger depth if required by your specific vehicle model, and reconnect the wiring harness. Periodic inspection of the switch housing for cracks or signs of corrosion can help maintain long-term reliability. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners on the plastic housing; a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning.
