semi related; I once exchanged a bag of popcorn for some Doritos while driving down to Tennessee with another car in our group at 70mph. That's about as dangerous as I like to live.

If both bags were unopened, then you were the winner !

Was changing the brake light switch a hard job ? Is it hard to get to & find & change ? Mine just started doing this no brake lights & BAS light on ! Goes off when I restart car but as soon as I touch brake pedal back on !

THANK YOU for figuring this out. I've been scratching my head over this issue for most of this year. I haven't been driving my Crossfire much because of this issue, and a bead leak in one of my rims. I bought a brake light switch months ago but I have to work on my car outside in Arizona so I put it off until just now. The brake light switch did nothing, I found your thread, tested the #2 fuse on the illumination control module, and it was loose.

If you are having this issue I would check the fuse panel inside the driver side door first to make sure nothing is loose. My brake light switch was probably fine. My fuse is loose.

Update on the brake light failure... Turns out it was the switch on the right was a hair to short. I would assume it was causing an intermittent contact failure. The one on the left is longer and thus works like it should. Thats what I get for not checking the new and old parts to make sure they were the same. LOL
I had a defective brake light switch in the W202. I learned when you replace the switch, you pull the end of the switch out as far as you can. It will "ratchet" out several millimeters. Then you install the replacement switch while holding the brake pedal depressed. When you release the pedal, it will compress the pin, and self adjust.
This drove me nuts for some time till I figured it out.
