  Q: How to Service and Repair a Brake Light Switch on Dodge Neon?

  A:

  To fix or replace the brake light switch, initially depress the brake pedal as you hold it down and turn the brake lamp switch counterclockwise 30° times. Reach back and pull out the switch to take it off the bracket and pull the brake lamp switch wire connector apart as well. Before adding the new brake lamp switch, rotate the plunger to its furthest opened state by firmly holding the switch with one hand and pulling outward on the plunger until you feel it ratchet. Join the wiring harness connector to the brake lamp switch, then put the switch into the bracket as you press the brake pedal down as much as you can. Pick the index next to the "ON" side on the switch and slide it into the "ON" opening of the mounting bracket. Once it is seated, rotate it clockwise a quarter turn or about 30°. Do not jerk the brake pedal backwards, as this dangerously damages the switch or striker. Press gently on the brake while holding it near its stop position to slide the switch plunger backward as needed. Make sure the stop lamps do not stay on when the driver lets go of the brake.

  Q: How to Maintain a Brake Light Switch on Dodge Neon?

  A:

  Before starting, disconnect the battery negative cable and block all static electricity. After removing the bumper, turn the brake lamp switch counterclockwise about 30 degrees and pull it from the mounting bracket, then separate the wiring harness from the brake lamp switch and discard the old switch. Buy a new brake lamp switch and make sure the adjustment lever points at a 45° angle away from the wiring connector; if it is level, throw out the switch and find a new one. Solder or press connect the new switch to the electronics harness and secure the switch onto the bracket by lining up the index tab with the notch and tightening it 30°. Let go of the brake pedal and use the lever to move from 45° to a position next to or touching the wiring connector. Come up to the negative terminal and attach it, check if the stop lamps are operating correctly and drive around to make sure the brakes and speed work correctly.
