Used Nissan Note Brake Light Switch

The Nissan Note ran in two generations: the first (E11) from 2006 to 2013, and the second (E12) from 2013 onwards, so a 2007 switch comes from a different generation to a 2013 E12 car. If your 2013 car is an early E12, the switch is unlikely to be a direct swap from an E11, but if it is a late E11 the chances are better. Confirm the exact generation of both donor and recipient cars with the breaker against your registration before ordering.

Both a 2009 and a 2012 Note fall within the first-generation E11 (2006–2013), so the brake light switch has a good chance of being compatible. The brake light switch on this generation is a straightforward pedal-mounted unit and is not significantly affected by engine size on the Note. Confirm the match with the breaker against both registrations to be sure.

On the Nissan Note, the brake light switch is a pedal-box-mounted component and is generally consistent across the engine variants offered — 1.4, 1.6 petrol and 1.5 dCi diesel — within the same generation. Engine size is unlikely to be a deciding factor here, unlike on some larger vehicles where heavier braking hardware varies with power output. Stick to matching the generation (E11 2006–2013, or E12 2013 onwards) and confirm with the breaker against your registration.

Trim level does not affect brake light switch fitment on the Nissan Note — the switch operates the same pedal assembly regardless of whether the car is a Visia, Acenta, or Tekna. Any cosmetic or interior differences between those trims have no bearing on the braking system's pedal components. Match by generation and confirm with the breaker against your registration.

The E12 Note received a facelift in 2016, and while the brake light switch is a relatively simple pedal-mounted part that may well carry over, mid-generation running changes can sometimes affect fitment on components like this. It is worth noting the facelift boundary when speaking to the breaker, and asking them to check the part against your specific registration rather than assuming all E12 switches are identical.

The Nissan Note and Micra are related platforms but are distinct vehicles with their own pedal-box assemblies, and cross-model fitment of a brake light switch is not something that can be assumed. Some parts do cross over between Nissan models of the same era, but this needs to be verified against the specific part numbers for your registration. Ask the breaker to confirm compatibility directly rather than assuming the switch will interchange.
