Tridon Stop Light Switch TBS045

The Tridon Stop Light Switch, part number TBS045, is a replacement switch sold as each. It is listed under Tridon and is identified as a switch in the auto electrical accessories group, with a two year warranty noted for the part.

Key identifying details for this switch include a 14 mm spanner size and a normally closed circuit. Those details matter when checking the existing brake light switch, as the physical removal method and circuit operation need to match the application before purchase.

This part is also grouped in fuses, breakers, relays and switches, which makes it a practical option for brake light circuit repairs where the original switch needs replacing. The product listing names it as a Tridon Stop Light Switch, so matching the part number TBS045 is the safest starting point.

Because stop light switches can vary by thread, mounting style and circuit type, compare the 14 mm spanner size and normally closed operation with the switch already fitted to the vehicle before ordering. The listing does not provide thread details beyond a blank thread field, so the part number and physical checks are especially important.

Application and Buying Notes

For brake light switch replacement, the most useful checks here are the part number TBS045, the 14 mm spanner size and the normally closed circuit. Those three details help confirm whether the switch is the right physical and electrical match for the vehicle, especially where the original switch has been removed or the old label is hard to read.

The fitment information supplied points to Alfa Romeo 156, Alfa Romeo GTV and Alfa Romeo Spider applications, but the listing does not provide a full confirmed vehicle table. If the vehicle is one of those models, compare the year, the switch mounting arrangement and the existing circuit behaviour before buying, rather than relying on model name alone.

A stop light switch is a simple part, but it still needs to match the system correctly. The 14 mm spanner size tells you the removal and installation tool size, while the normally closed circuit tells you how the switch operates in the brake light circuit. If the replacement switch does not match that operation, the brake lights may not behave as intended.

This part is sold each, so order the quantity needed for the job. The two year warranty applies to the product listing, but the switch still needs to be installed and checked against the vehicle’s existing setup to make sure the fitment is correct and the brake light circuit functions properly after installation.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number TBS045 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

Tridon Stop Light Switch. Part number TBS045 should be checked first. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number TBS045, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a switch in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed electrical specification should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include ALFA ROMEO 156, ALFA ROMEO 156 1999, ALFA ROMEO 156 2000, ALFA ROMEO 156 2001. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

The listed warranty is Two Years. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility by matching part number TBS045, the 14 mm spanner size and the normally closed circuit to the switch already fitted to the vehicle. Vehicle fitment should be checked carefully against the specific model, year and existing switch arrangement before purchase.
