Brake Lamps
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Fiat 500e. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The brake (or stop) lamps and the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) each have a path to ground at all times through a takeout and eyelet terminal of the body wire harness that is secured by a screw to the body sheet metal. The BCM receives a battery voltage input whenever the brake lamp switch is closed by the brake pedal arm. The BCM then energizes a high side driver, which provides battery voltage to the brake lamps and the CHMSL through a tail/stop lamp rear feed circuits.
