Replace the switch at the brake pedal.

If you need help with that, get a manual at Auto Zone. They're a lot cheaper than a mechanic.

I had same problem on my 2K . I would first ck. both of the tail / brake bulbs to see if one of the filaments are bad. This CAN cause tail lights to burn bright as brake lights and if you step on brake you will NOT see any difference. Do yourself a favor CHANGE BOTH BULBS at same time ; clean socket and use dielectric grease in socket. FWIW, a bad reverse light socket CAN cause hard shift on auto. For some reason focus has problem with electric connections ie. CORROSION

Where is the relay located that controls the tail lights and interior lights on a 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage?

The relay that controls the taillights and interior lights on a 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage is in the driver's side fuse box. It is to the left of the steering wheel in the dash. One thing to note about this vehicle is if a brake light burns out, the car might also lose the dash lights or interior lights. Check the brake lights before replacing a fuse that might not need replacing.


If the brake lights do not brighten when the brake is applied on a 2000 Dodge Stratus yet the bulbs are not burned out what do you need to check?

There are two filaments in the bulb that is used for taillights and brake lights. Make sure BOTH filaments are good before assuming that the bulb is not burned out. If, in fact, both filaments are good, next check the brake light switch. If it is good, check the turn signal switch that is in the steering column
