1 Answers
The principle of a four-wire brake light switch in cars is that power passes through a fuse to the brake switch. When the brake pedal is pressed for braking, the switch connects, sending current to the brake lights and the high-mounted brake light, forming a circuit through the negative wire connected to the vehicle body. Inside the switch, one contact closes while another opens, switching during operation, and the cruise control computer monitors the switch state. The classification of four-wire brake lights varies depending on different conditions: according to the materials used, they are divided into gas car brake lights and LED car brake lights; according to the base, they are categorized into P21W, W21W, P27W, and W16W. The function of a four-wire brake light is to alert vehicles and pedestrians behind when braking, thereby improving driving safety.
