How to Replace a Brake Light Switch on Dodge Ram 3500?

Before attaching the brake light switch, pause the SRS system by temporarily disconnecting the battery negative cable, isolating it and allowing the system capacitor to drain for two minutes. A self-adjusting plunger is part of the brake lamp switch and it must be replaced should you remove it from its mounting bracket. First, push down and hold the brake pedal. Line up the tabs on the locking collar with the gentle keyed hole in the switch mount on the lower steering column and push them through the hole until the switch fits tightly against the bracket. Turn the switch housing to the left or counterclockwise about 30 degrees to get the tabs to fit into the mounting bracket. Don't pull the brake pedal upward as you release it after this. Move the plunger adjustment release lever clockwise until it stays set in place and it's parallel to the brake lamp switch connector receptacle; ensure the lever setting is correct to avoid having to change the switch. When finished, replace the brake switch connector to its spot and link the negative battery cable once again.
