Maybe I'm "squirrely", but isn't there a switch that shows that the
parking brake is activated (pedal depressed) and that might be out of
adjustment?

I thought of the break fluid levels also. They are good. Thanks.

I'm wide open to any other ideas.

The brake fluid level switch has been known to be "squirelly".

That's a highly technical term.
Also known as FUBAR.

According to the Chrysler manual, the only things that will turn on the
brake light are: the parking brake, the brake fluid level switch, and the
ignition during crank. Here's the page:

there is - easy to check that one though.

I would start by unplugging the fluid level switch and then drive it to see
if your problem goes away. Then move onto the parking brake switch. If those
to simple tests do not change your symptom it sounds like a wiring problem
that needs to be looked at further.
Good luck
Bryan

if you are willing to part with some cash I will gladdly figure it out for
you. ;>p
