Can someone verify that the correct Ford replacement brake light switch is 4L2Z-13480-AB? 2002 4x4 4.0 BTW. The reason I ask is the new one looks completely different than the original, having a lot of metal construction and a different electrical connector. There is a pigtail in the box to solder onto the harness and replace the original connector there. The original switch was mostly plastic and failed. I'm just wondering if the guy gave me some kind of heavy duty version or was the original simply revised.

Thanks.

I do know that the Taurus switch was revised and the platic switch replaced with an older style looking switch. There should be a sheet of instructions in the box, too...

Thank you Jim. You are correct. In my hurry yesterday I didn't even notice the multiple pages of instructions. They do specifically mention 2002 Explorer so I guess this is the one. The switch does look like an older one. It has a Motorcraft number of SW-6282.
