Description
Genuine Paccar OEM Q27-1038 normally-closed pressure switch for Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks, most commonly applied to the parking-brake circuit where the switch closes (completing the circuit) until system air pressure exceeds the release threshold. Replaces former Paccar service number 16-09155.
Signs You Need a New Pressure Switch
- Parking-brake or pressure warning light stays on with adequate system pressure
- Warning indicator fails to illuminate when pressure genuinely drops
- Intermittent or erratic pressure-warning signals
- Switch-controlled circuit (lamp, buzzer, valve) fails to actuate
- Visible corrosion or damage at the switch body or connector
