How do you change the braking switch on a 1997 Chrysler Sebring LXI?

Answer 1

oh ugh... oh ugh... this little thing is hard to get to but well worth the effort to replace yourself. up above or behind your pedal there are two switches (it has been a while since i replaced mine so these are general locations) supported by a beam. the switch that is connected to your lights is also part of your cruise control system. there is a connector on the back to unhook once you get it removed from the support beam. the switch will require some force to remove it you just push in the direction that is away from the pedal. once you get it out unhook the connector and remove the old one. that is only 1/3 the battle.. putting it back in is harder than getting it out.. (isn't it always that way?) i recommend hooking the connector back up and then trying to put it back into its place. you have to force it back into the retaining hole and then make sure that it is far enough to contact the brake pedal when it is not pressed. have a friend (or check when its dark before driving) assure that your brake lights are now working. if they are working go out and check if the cruise control cutoff is working by setting your cruise control and pressing the brake. like normal it should deactivate your cruise control speed and allow you to coast. if not the switch is defective.
