Brake Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Concorde, and 2003 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The brake switch may also be referred to as brakelamp switch, brakelight switch or stoplight switch.

The brake switch is located under the instrument panel, at the brake pedal arm. See Fig 1 . The brake switch has 3 internal switches controlling various functions of the vehicle. Its main function is to control operation of the vehicle's brakelights. Other functions of the internal switches include speed control deactivation and brake sense for the ABS and the brake transmission shift interlock.
