Are battery has been draining, and the one mechanic said it's because their is a plunger in the brake pedal that is sticking. Is this easy to replace? Can I do it myself? Does it have to be replaced or is there something I can spray to make it slide easier?

It is high up on pedel maybe out of adjustment. Spray it with contact cleaner. Not an expensive part may want to replace.

Hi:
Check under the dash attached to the brake pedal for a switch that looks like this.

That is one type of switch. Let me know if you can't find it. If you do, it just unbolts.

Let me know if this helps.
