Yes, the Mercedes-Benz CLK has a brake light switch — it's a small electrical switch, typically mounted on the brake pedal bracket, that signals the brake lights to illuminate when you press the pedal. Every CLK variant, whether petrol or diesel, coupe or convertible, has one as standard. It's a straightforward part to source from a breaker and is unrelated to engine size or trim level.
The W208 and W209 are distinct generations with different pedal box assemblies, so you should not assume the brake light switch is a straight swap between them. Name the generation — W208 or W209 — when approaching a breaker, and confirm fitment against your exact registration before buying. Cross-generation compatibility is possible in some cases, but the breaker is best placed to verify this.
No, trim level does not affect which brake light switch is fitted to the CLK — Elegance, Avantgarde, and AMG variants all share the same pedal assembly and use the same switch. You may find cosmetic differences around the interior depending on trim, but the switch itself is identical. Focus on matching the generation (W208 or W209) rather than the trim when sourcing from a breaker.
No — unlike some running-gear components where engine size can influence brake specification, the brake light switch is a simple electrical switch on the pedal bracket that is consistent across engine variants within each CLK generation. Whether you have a 1.8, 2.0, 3.2, or 5.5 AMG engine, the switch is determined by generation (W208 or W209), not by what's under the bonnet.
The W209 CLK received a facelift in 2005, and while the brake light switch is generally unlikely to have changed at that point, you should confirm fitment against your registration with the breaker rather than assume. The generation boundary that matters most for this part is between W208 and W209, not the mid-generation facelift. A good breaker will be able to check the part number against your specific year.
Yes — the body style (coupe or cabriolet) does not affect the brake light switch, as the pedal assembly and switch are identical between the two. Both body styles were offered throughout the W208 and W209 generations, and the switch fits the same way regardless. Just make sure you're matching the correct generation when sourcing from a breaker.
