How to Service a Brake Light Switch on Dodge Nitro?

Make sure to disconnect the supplemental restraint system before you work on your brake light switch by unhooking and leaving disconnected the battery negative cable for two minutes. Because the self-adjuster in the brake lamp switch is used just once, it cannot be installed more than once, so if it is removed, it needs to be replaced with a new switch. You have to first open the cover on the steering column and then look for the brake lamp switch below the steering column at the support bracket. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the brake lamp switch, then loosen the switch housing counterclockwise about 30 degrees to make the tabs on the switch locking collar match the keyed hole in the switch mounting bracket. Pull straight back on the switch, out of the keyed hole, while removing it from the bracket and throwing away the removed brake lamp switch.
