• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford brake lamp switch bumper, a small molded stop used across a range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles at the brake pedal and stoplamp switch interface. Despite the word bumper in its catalog name, this is not a body bumper cover; it is the compact cushion or stop pad that the brake pedal arm rests against and that sets the resting position the stoplamp switch reads when the pedal is released. When this stop deteriorates, crumbles, or falls out of its bore, the switch can no longer sense the pedal at rest, which commonly leaves the brake lights stuck on all the time, drains the battery, disables the push-button start or shift interlock, or drops out cruise control and other functions that depend on a correct brake signal. Buyers usually find this part after discovering brake lights that stay illuminated, a car that will not shift out of park, or a stored fault pointing at the brake pedal position switch. The Ford OEM piece is the correct material and diameter to snap securely into the pedal bracket and hold its shape, unlike a generic grommet that can compress or drop out again. Because this is a shared service component rather than a single-model part, confirm the correct application for your specific vehicle by VIN before installing, and inspect the switch and pedal bracket for wear while the assembly is apart so the new bumper restores a clean, repeatable pedal-at-rest position.
