2000 dodge stratus se

The brakes on my stratus just randomly stopped working, I was driving and when i gently pushed the brake pedal NOTHING happened it finally slowed down as I pushed it to the floor....after about 30 min or so it seemed to be working okay (once i turned into my neighborhood) I was only going about 45 - 50 when the brakes went nuts.

sounds to me if you replaced all of that than the power booster is sticking

SOURCE: dash warning light

on the 93 there is a problem with the abs system. there are several things that could be wrong. if i remember correctly the module is behind the passenger side kick panel. you will find a single wire coming off the module. if you ground it then turn on the key it will flash the brake lights in the dash. count the flashes this is the code for the error. it will help in the repair. as for the second truck you have a leak that needs repaired.

the stratus' are well known for the brakelight switch on the brake pedal going out frequently!!
so go to nearest parts house and buy a brakelight switch, that will most likely fix your problem!!

there is no up shift sensor or down shift sensor,
there is a output sensor,input sensor,speed sensor,
you need to have your TCM checked to see which of these are at fault.

Need help replacing brake light switch 2006 dodge stratus

Brake light switch usually pushes into bracket until the switch plunger hits the back of the brake pedal and is fully depressed, then turn the switch to lock it in place. Next, connect the wiring plug. The point is, it must be depressed when the brake pedal is up, as it turns on the lights as you push the pedal down and its plunger is released.

TAIL LIGHTS WORK BRAKE LIGHTS BOTH WENT OUT

Most probably the high intensity filaments in the tail lights burned out. (It happened to me and I thought it was the brake pedal switch, but both bulbs failed almost at the same time!)

Remove the bulbs first to check the filaments with an ohmeter, if good, then it is either the pedal switch or the wiring, or even the ground connection. Amclaussen.

2005 dodge stratus cruise does not work but light comes on.

first check to see if brake lights work, because brake light switch will deactivate cruis control when you press brake pedal to slow down stop.if brake light switch okay, dealership has to check out cruise control since pcm and vechicle speed sensor control the cruise control also.

Brakes dont work properly,when I brake the pedal goes all the way to the floor.Is my master cylinder the problem?

best place to start is looking for a leak in the system especially on corroded brake lines. fill master cylinder with fluid and have assistant gently push on brake pedal. check all fittings and lines for leaks. look carefully around gas tank as lines snake in front of tank above heat shield and are impossible to see without removing tank but leak will drip down at some point.

Cruise Control on 2001 Dodge Stratus SE stopped working. The green light comes on but it won't work. The fuse isn't labeled in either of the fuse boxes to see if that is the problem and I didn't get the...

Have you recently had any brake work done? I had a 05' freestyle that did the same thing.. when you tap the brake the cruise kicks off right? so if your brake pedal is sticking or not returning fully to the up position, the cruise will immediately kick off like you applied the brake. Check to see if your brake lights are staying on when you release the brake. Let me know what happens, please and good luck.

We have a problem with our 2000 stratus fuse, everytime we push on he brake pedal the fuse blows? What could be the problem?

It sounds like you have whats called "a short to ground" Breaks operate on whats called an open circut, only when you ppress the pedal does it allow the eectricity to flow hence lighting the rear break hights. You have a pinch wire which is grounding the system. Each time you press the pedal it sends the current to that ground shorting the circut and blowing the fuse. Trace the wires in the trunk as best you can and look for any damaged wires(oinched ,stripped, also check the break light socket .
