OPERATION

The Brake Lamp Relay uses a low current input from the Illumination Control Module to control a high current output to the brake lamps. When the relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is produced by the coil windings. The field draws the moveable relay contact point away from its normal resting position, and holds it against the contact point. The brake lamp relay terminals are connected to the vehicles electrical system through a connector receptacle in the Underhood Accessory Fuse Block.
