Brake Junction Block Balance Switch Kit
Skandix 1021461 - 141476
Product Description
Cars with triangular (dual-circuit) brakes like the 240 have both brake circuits coming together at the brake junction block. A piston inside the junction block sits between both brake circuits; if one of the circuits starts to leak, the pressure difference between the good and bad circuit pushes the piston to one side until the safety switch pressed against the piston makes contact, illuminating the brake warning light on your dashboard.
It's not unheard of for the switch itself to go bad, even if both circuits and the junction block itself are okay. This repair kit by Skandix includes a new seal, switch body, spring, and contact, so you can restore your warning light function and get back to a serene, error-free instrument cluster.
Product Fitment Notes & Potential Issues
If your brake junction block is leaking at this switch, then you need a new brake junction block, not a new switch. There should not be any pressurized brake fluid behind this switch. If there is, it is an indication of the junction block piston seals leaking.
Fits non-ABS cars only.
If bleeding your brakes, do not pedal bleed or positive pressure bleed. See the tech tip below to safely bleed triangular brakes.

If your brake junction block is leaking at this switch, then you need a new brake junction block, not a new switch. There should not be any pressurized brake fluid behind this switch. If there is, it is an indication of the junction block piston seals leaking.
Fits non-ABS cars only.
If bleeding your brakes, do not pedal bleed or positive pressure bleed. See the tech tip below to safely bleed triangular brakes.

Available to Order means the item may not be in our warehouse but is readily available from one or more supplier warehouses. After you order it, we will get it for you ASAP.
Products from major brand names are almost always in stock in the manufacturer’s domestic warehouse. These suppliers have good fill rates, but even if they are out of stock, we may be able to source it from a variety of alternative wholesale sources.
