Tridon Stop Light Switch TBS046

The Tridon Stop Light Switch, part number TBS046, is a normally closed switch supplied as each. It sits in the auto electrical controls category and is listed for applications across Ford, FPV and Jaguar fitments, including Ford Cougar, FPV Falcon and Jaguar X-Type variants where the catalogue application matches.

This switch is a Tridon-branded replacement part with a two-year warranty. The available product details identify the circuit as normally closed, while the spanner and thread fields are not specified, so those installation details should be checked against the vehicle and the existing switch before purchase.

For buyers comparing options, the key identifiers are the Tridon brand, TBS046 part number and the normally closed circuit type. Those details matter because stop light switches are application-sensitive items, and the wrong circuit type or incorrect fitment can stop the brake lamps from operating as intended.

Application and Buying Notes

When comparing this switch with the one already fitted, confirm the part number TBS046 and make sure the vehicle application matches the catalogue listing. The critical electrical detail supplied here is a normally closed circuit, so it should only be used where that circuit type is correct for the vehicle and pedal switch arrangement.

The listed fitment coverage includes Ford, FPV and Jaguar applications, with sample applications showing Ford Cougar and FPV Falcon model years as well as Jaguar X-Type model years. Even with those application families, the safest approach is to match the part number, vehicle make, model and year before ordering, especially where the brake lamp switch design may vary between variants.

The spanner and thread fields are recorded as not specified, which means installation hardware and thread details should not be assumed. If you are replacing an existing stop light switch, compare the old switch closely for physical match, connector arrangement and mounting style, then confirm the new part against the vehicle application details rather than relying on appearance alone.

As a brake control component, the stop light switch needs to suit the vehicle’s electrical logic and physical mounting points. If the vehicle is being repaired for a brake lamp fault, check the wiring, pedal adjustment and switch condition at the same time so the replacement TBS046 can be assessed in the context of the full circuit, not just as a standalone part.

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 TBS046 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 TBS046 should be checked first. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number TBS046, 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 FORD COUGAR, FORD COUGAR 1999, FORD COUGAR 2000, FORD COUGAR 2001, FPV FALCON, FPV FALCON 2003. 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 fitment by matching the Tridon TBS046 part number, the normally closed circuit type, and the vehicle application details before ordering. Where the spanner and thread fields are not specified, compare the existing switch and vehicle mounting requirements carefully.
