About Brake Light Switchs

The Citroen 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 Citroen 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 Citroen 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 Citroen 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 Citroen 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.

Citroen trivia

• Unfortunately, the founder of Citroën went bankrupt in 1934, even though the cars they produced were selling well and incredibly popular. The company exists today because tyre company Michelin bought the majority of shares in the company.
• Between 1925 and 1935, the Eiffel Tower was just a big, pointy billboard with the word 'Citroën' in bright lights from top to bottom. This was the first use of lights to advertise on the tower, and Citroën renewed the adverts every year until they were bought out by Michelin.
• Thanks to Citroën, the French driver Sebastien Loeb is the single most successful driver in the entire history of the World Rallying Championship. Nine consecutive driver's titles were won by Loeb in the time between 2004 and 2012, driving cars such as the Xsara, the C4, and the DS3.
• Buying Maserati was definitely a mistake for Citroën. The SM model didn't sell well, and that led to financial difficulties that meant the car company was eventually acquired by Peugeot.
• If you went into a Citroën showroom in the 20s, there's a good chance that you would have been given a letter that was personally handwritten by Andre Citroën himself, proclaiming the benefits of the car models. This one act of marketing genius is credited with being responsible for thousands of closed sales.
