On the issue of the brake light switch....
I can't check my car right now (it's dark out). but if its anything like my first gen neon, the brake light switch is just a square plastic piece with a button on it that is positioned behind the brake pedel, and when the pedel is depressed, it pushes in the button and lights up the bakes. I assume this is the same on the SRT. If so, maybe when they say, don't reinstall it, they mean don't take out the actual piece that the switch plugs into. follow me? if you were to take out the piece that's physically connected to the firewall/floorboard or bottom of the dash, then it would need to be readjusted perfectly in order for your brake lights to light up correctly. I think if you just unplugged the brake switch, and pluged it back in without moving the piece that's actually mounted to the bottom of the dash/firewall (whichever it is), you should be perfectly fine.
i'll have to look at it tomorrow when it's light out. but i think what i'm saying makes sense?
