I have a 2002 Dodge 1500 Ram. I've replaced the brake light switch. Lights continue to stay on. why?

They come on sporadically, whenever they want. Mecs said, change switch. no avail. they come on often hours after stopped driving. What is my problem?

First of all chrysler brake switches have not been adjustable for a long time.



If you have already replaced the switch then it could be in the wiring itself being shorted together. It also could be a fault in the instrument cluster or front control module that is turning them on.

Is the switch adjusted correctly (after you replaced it)?



It may be at the point of contact and you will need to adjust the switch away from the pedal arm slightly so that you have to press on the pedal slightly farther to actuate the brake lights.
you can also try taking your truck to the dealership and let them reset the sensor this may take the light off, also check your break fluid
you have to adjust the switch once its been put on and there should be a small pull back spring on the pedal that will prevent that from happening,most of the time this can be taken out by adjusting the switch,good luck.
