BMW Back Up Lamp Switch - Hella 23141352153

Product Information

The back-up light switch is an electrical component that activates the reverse lights when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. Mounted on the transmission or gear selector mechanism, it signals the vehicle’s lighting system to illuminate the rear back-up lamps, improving visibility and alerting others that the vehicle is reversing. Built with durable contacts and housings to withstand heat, vibration, and fluid exposure, the switch is essential for both safety and compliance with vehicle regulations.

• Reverse lights do not illuminate – often due to a failed or worn-out switch.
• Intermittent or flickering reverse lights – caused by loose connections or failing internal contacts.
• Check engine light or transmission-related fault codes – may appear if the switch malfunctions on electronically controlled systems.
