How do i know if my brake light switch is bad.

The brake light switch is a small, pressure-operated electrical component located near the brake pedal, and is responsible for turning on your vehicle's rear brake lights. The switch is triggered when you press down on the brake pedal. The applied pressure changes the position of the switch and sends electrical signals to the rear brake lights, causing them to turn on, and also communicates with the vehicle's computer. In many modern vehicles, brake light switches are connected to the anti-lock-braking system (ABS) and the stability or traction control system. Brake switches are designed to last, but components in the switch can break down or suffer damage over time. If your vehicle's brake lights are not coming on when you use your brakes, you could have a faulty connection at your brake switch, the brake switch itself may be damaged or out of adjustment, or it may simply be the result of a burned out bulb. Check the brake light bulb's condition first, and if it is not damaged, you might need to replace your brake light switch. If your brake lights don't turn off automatically when your brakes are not in use, you could also have a faulty electrical connection between the brake switch and the brake lights or a damaged brake switch. A malfunctioning cruise control system could also be caused by a broken brake light switch, and this can cause complete loss of cruise control function as a failsafe. If you have a push-start vehicle, a vehicle that requires the brake pedal to be depressed to start the engine, or remote start, a broken or worn brake light switch can also prevent your engine from starting. An ABS warning alert on your dash could also be linked to a faulty brake light switch or a blown fuse in the electrical circuit. Your ABS system relies on the brake switch to operate, and without these signals, the ABS system will likely detect a malfunction and trigger alerts. If you are experiencing one or all of these problems, you might need to replace your brake light switch. If you need a replacement fuse, brake light bulb, tail light assembly, or brake light switch, shop O'Reilly Auto Parts to find the parts you need for a complete repair.

The brake lights on your 2009 Dodge Journey illuminate when you hit the brake pedal and help prevent you from being rear ended by the cars behind you. Brake light bulbs grow dimmer over time and eventually burn out. See how to change the brake lights on your 2009 Dodge Journey. The first step is to locate the brake light socket in your Journey. Remove the brake light socket and then replace the burnt out brake light bulb. When you replace the brake light bulb on your Journey, be careful not to touch the bulb directly with your fingers - the oil from your skin will cause the area that you touched to burn hotter than the rest of the bulb, which causes the bulb to burn out quicker.

If you are going to replace a bulb in your housing, it is a good idea to replace all of them. Not only will the lights on your Journey be brighter, you decrease the likelihood you will need to change any of the bulbs again in the near future. A burnt out bulb in the taillight cluster of your Journey is an excuse for a police officer to pull you over. Check your bulbs frequently and change burnt bulbs promptly.

Dodge Journey:  Brake Lights Not Working Diagnosis

Brake lights are one of the most critical safety features that your Dodge Journey has.  They let other drivers know when you are slowing down, and that they need to slow down too.  If your brake lights aren’t working, you’re way more likely to get rear ended than normal.  The good news is that troubleshooting brake lights that aren’t working isn’t too difficult.  The most common cause for this is a bad brake light switch.

You can test whether or not your Journey’s brake lights are working all by yourself.  Just back up really close to the garage door and push the pedal.  You should be able to see the brake lights illuminating the door.  If even one of them comes on, you know that the brake light fuse isn’t blown.  We’ll go into more depth on that below.

Driving without the brake lights working is just as unsafe as if your Journey’s brake lights were stuck on .

1. Check the Fuse

If none of the brake lights are working, we are going to follow the circuit from the fuse box back to the brake pedal.  At some point the power is not getting from point A to point B.  We just have to find where that is.

Please note that tail lights can work even if the brake lights are burned out.  It is entirely possible that all the brake lights burned out at the same time.

The first thing that you should do if all of the brake lights are not working is check the fuse.  It’ll be clearly labeled.  It usually says something along the lines of “stop lamps” or stop.  You can pull it and visually inspect it to make sure that it is not broken.

Even if it looks fine, if you have another fuse of the same amperage, swap it anyway.  What works better is using a simple electrical test light to determine if the circuit works.  Wal-Mart and any parts store will keep them in stock, usually at $10 or less.

Just hook the clip of the light up to a good ground and touch the two metal tabs on top of the fuse.  There is no need to pull the fuse for this.  It should be “hot” on both sides.  If it is not, replace the fuse.  If it blows more than once, it’s likely that your Journey’s wiring harness has been damaged on the way to the brake lights.  Make sure to put the same size fuse back in

2. Check your Journey’s Brake Light Switch

Ok, now we’ve confirmed that there is power going to the brake light circuit, it’s time to figure out where in the path from the fuse box to the brake lights the power is lost.  The most common location is the  brake light switch .  The good news is they are inexpensive and easy to replace.

Your Journey’s brake light switch is under the brake pedal.  It ALWAYS should have power running to it, even if the key is off.  We need definitely need a test light at this point.  The video below shows exactly how to do this. 

He has the brake light switch out of the vehicle, which makes it way easier to see.  You do not need to do this. 

Basically, there are two wires, one is alway hot.  When you press the brake pedal down, it sends this power to the brake lights.  This is the most likely failure point.

If your vehicle has cruise control, it may appear as though there are two brake switches.  The other one is to tell the cruise control to turn off when you press the brake pedal.  You may need to consult your manual to determine which one is which.  But, as a general rule, the cruise control switch will not have power going to it when the key is off like the brake light switch does.

3. Check for a Bad Ground

If there is a ground wire running to the brake light switch, make sure that it is secured tightly and corrosion free.  If you can’t find the ground wire at all, run a jumper wire to substitute for the ground wire.

Now test the brake light switch.  If it works, fix the ground wire.

4. Other Wiring Issues

If your Journey’s brake light switch checked out ok, and there are no brake lights illuminating at all, inspect the wiring harness going from the brake switch to the bulbs themselves.  There could be an issue with frayed wiring, wiring that has lost its ground, or a short/open situation.

If you have the “third” or dedicated brake light (the one not in your tail lights), check the harness  after they diverge .  You know that it has power before this point since the third brake light is still getting power.

Look in the trunk (if applicable).  Check any grounds the harness has in there.  Make sure that the harness wasn’t damaged in there.  It’s not uncommon for cargo to do this.

Conclusion:  Dodge Journey Brake Lights Not Coming On

If your Journey’s brake lights are not working, it’s most likely going to be caused by a bad brake light switch.  Good luck fixing your vehicle!

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
