Replace your brake switch on the pedal. If problem continues you have a bad ground somewhere

The most obvious cause for a hard pedal is simply not enough vacuum. check the vacuum. please go to this site for info on hard brake pedal= .mpbrakes.com/techtalk/how-to-series/how-to-diagnosing-a-hard-brake-pedal Goopd-Day!

vacuum leak on the brake booster.

There is a brake light switch on the pedal inside the cabin of the car, if this switch is bad your lights will not work, also I'm fairly confident that the Sebring has a seperate fuse for the brake lights, check your fuse panels also

CHANGE THAT SWITCH THAT ITS LOCATED AT THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR A NEW ONE IF YOU DONT FINDIT AT A STORE BUYIT FROM A YUNKYARD

Check if there's any Leakage underneath the car and all around the brake hose or galiper/drum, maybe you broke a line or busted a seal in a galiper or a brake cylinder if you have rear drum brake, when you did hit really the brake pedal ! Or check if there's any leak near the Brake Master Cylinder, it could be a bad Brake Master Cylinder ! Check if you didn't Loose a Pad too.. !

Check brake fluid level.

the brake light switch may be bad, or the brake pedal is not coming back enough to turn the switch off, look up under the dash where the brake brake is, and you may see if the pedal is depressing the switch properly.

Replace the brake switch above the brake pedal.
