Electrical problem
2000 Dodge Stratus 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Then you need to go to the brake light switch under the dash at the brake pedal and test for power coming in all the time and going back out when the brake is applied.

You use a 12v test light to test for power. You may have to get someone to do it for you.
