Sensors, Switches & SendersAbout Sensors, Switches & Senders

The switches and controls that help make up a significant part of your vehicle's electrical system are all vital in their own way. Helping to control the flow of electricity throughout your vehicle so you don't have to, these switches and controls engage and disengage hundreds of times everyday by themselves without you noticing (or sometimes when you turn something on from your dashboard), enabling electricity to get to the areas of your car that need them. As such, switches and controls are vital in ensuring every electrical part of your car works properly when it should from your headlights, tail lights, interior lights and dashboard lights, to your ignition system, battery, motors, brake and steering systems.

Some of these switches and controls are incredibly important to the safe and economical operation of your vehicle, ensuring that your vehicle gets optimum flows of air, fuel and oil, turning your lights on when you need, and alerting you in the case of problems with your engine, oil pressure, brakes and battery.

With such a dizzying array of switches and controls available on the market, it's best to invest in a product you can trust when replacing any of these components, and thankfully Spares Box carries a huge variety of switches, controls and other electrical components from the likes of NARVA, BOSCH, Hella, Fuelmiser, Tridon and Battery Link to suit differing applications all across your vehicle. From universal switches, rockers and push buttons, to flasher units, light switches, starter switches and main switches, our extensive range is all premium manufactured and priced to provide exceptional value in an otherwise expensive area of your vehicle to maintain.

The vast majority of these switches, controls, rockers and buttons are manufactured to OE levels of quality and tested to meet worldwide standards of quality, ensuring you get optimum reliability, performance and lasting longevity.

About Engine Sensors

Your engine contains a massive number of sensors that helps it manage the intake and output of fuel, air and liquids that it uses to operate everyday. Every part of your vehicles engine is carefully measured and managed in the aim of optimising your vehicle's power output and fuel efficiency, so you can get to your destination in a faster, cleaner manner. Sparesbox range of Air Flow Meters, Coolant Sensors, Crank & Camshaft Sensors, Idle Air Control Valve Sensors, Knock Sensors, MAP Sensors, Oil Sensors, Oxygen Lambda Sensors and Variable Valve Timing Solenoid from AFI, Bosch, Davies Craig, Fuelmiser, Hella and Tridon has been carefully selected to keep your engine running seamlessly for longer.

How Engine Sensors Work

Your engine takes in, gives out and cycles through a huge amount of liquid, air and fuel for every km it travels. In order to make sure these elements are being used and cycled as efficiently as possible, your engine utilises a number of sensors, all with different jobs. Your crank & camshaft sensors work measure the position and angle of your engine components, in turn helping to determine the timing of fuel injection and ignition that takes place within your engine.

Your vehicle's coolant and oil sensors measure pressure and temperature of the liquids going through your engine, helping you to determine when these need either changing or replacing and alerting you of any issues with the pumps or hoses that make up your cooling and oil systems. Your engine also has a number of air flow meters, control valve sensors, pressure and oxygen sensors which analyse the input and output of air and gas going through your vehicle's intake and exhaust systems. This in turn enables your engine to optimise both the flow and the ratio of the fuel/air mixture being injected into your vehicle's combustion chambers.
