Question 97 Stratus brake switch

ive got a 97 dodge stratus no brake lights. Fuses are good bulbs look fine too. Im told it could be a brake switch actually at the pedal itself anyone know how to change this or if I can get it at advance auto or local Car part retail? Thanks.

Re: 97 Stratus brake switch

It is always good to test first- check for power at the White/Tan wire at the brake pedal switch- with brake pedal depressed- if no power there- go ahead and jumper the Red/Black wire to the White/Tan- see if brakes light up-- if so replace (or adjust) the brake light switch......
