Tech Tips & Impact on Vehicle Systems

As experienced ASE-certified automotive technicians themselves, Standard® Pro Trainers are experts in switches & relays. Here’s what they say to look out for during a switch and/or relay service.

Many switches, such as an ignition switch or a brake switch, have multiple outputs. Just because one output works, it doesn’t mean that all work properly. Test each circuit individually.

Anytime a load-bearing electrical device fails, it is highly recommended to also replace the corresponding relay. It is good insurance on the new part.

Newer brake switches are more than a simple on/off switch, so they need to be calibrated after they are replaced. Failure to do so will affect the starting, the start/stop system, ABS system, and electronic throttle control system.

Some switches are “normally open,” some are “normally closed” and others communicate data. Having a vehicle-specific wiring diagram can save time during any electrical diagnostic procedure.

Many power window switches with “Auto Up” or “Auto Down” need to be relearned after replacement. It is important to look up the correct procedure, but holding the switch in the Up position for 10 seconds and then in the Down position will usually get the job done.

On StandardBrand.com, you can search “relay” and quickly filter by amperage and terminal type to find the exact relay you’re searching for.
