Engine Brake Switch, Column Mounted
Detroit Diesel

The column-mounted engine-brake switch offers rapid, ergonomic control over engine braking directly from the steering column. It provides a crisp electrical signal to the brake-control module, enabling immediate activation or deactivation in response to driver inputs. The arrangement reduces cockpit clutter and minimizes effort, which is especially valuable during long-haul runs, heavy-loading scenarios, or steep grades where precise engine braking enhances control and stability. Benefits include improved deceleration performance, reduced thermal and wear load on service brakes, and a straightforward replacement path when components elsewhere in the control circuit are under service. This SKU exists within a family of column-mounted engine-brake switches, with variations to accommodate different column geometries and connector styles. The part sits in the electrical/control subsystem category and is designed for compatibility with Detroit Diesel platforms and common harness practices. Cross-references are not listed; confirm connector type and wire-length compatibility for your installation. Safety labeling and standard handling guidelines apply during replacement and calibration.
