Hello,

It sounds like you have a faulty brake light switch.
The brake light switch is located under the brake pedal. When you depress the pedal it presses against the switch and that triggers the brake lights to come on.

Sometimes the switch needs to be adjusted, as the bracket can move just enough to not have any connection. Other times the switch will simply be bunt out.

Replacing the brake light switch is a fairly straight forward process.

Here is a helpful video:

I have attached the brake light switch adjustment, replacement and testing procedures for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Hello, I'm Danny.

It sounds like you are having an issue with a defective brake light switch. I've attached picture steps below on how to remove and replace the brake light switch on your Sebring including its location. I've circled the switch in red. The switch is available at all your local auto parts stores. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
