How to Service and Repair a Brake Light Switch on 2001 Dodge Dakota?

A good way to start repairing the brake light switch is by loosening the switch harness. Before releasing the brake pedal, hold it down, turn the switch counterclockwise about 30° so the lock tab lines up with the notch in the bracket, push it back out of the bracket and release the brake pedal. When mounting the switch, hold down the brake pedal, align the tab on the new switch with the notch in the bracket, insert the switch and turn it clockwise about 30° to lock it. Wire the harness cables to the switch, press on the brake, release the brake pedal and activate the switch plunger with the release lever to finish the job which cannot be undone after this.
