Crossfire SRT-6 V6-3.2L SC VIN N (2005)
Brake Lamp Relay: Description and Operation
The Brake Lamp Relay is located in the Underhood Accessory Fuse Block in the engine compartment. The brake lamp relay is a micro relay and is
contained within a small, rectangular, molded plastic housing. All of the required inputs and outputs are connected to 9 blades that extend from the
bottom of the relay base.
The Brake Lamp Relay uses a low current input from the Illumination Control Module to control a high current output to the brake lamps. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is produced by the coil windings. The field draws the moveable relay contact point away from its normal
resting position, and holds it against the contact point. The brake lamp relay terminals are connected to the vehicles electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Underhood Accessory Fuse Block.
