Brake light switch was replaced twice, Brake lights are still on. Why?
Won't go out on my 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 Sport. Why?
Short very likely.
As switch is unlikely to be faulty twice.it's either set up wrongly or we have power to circuit from another source. Ant decent technician ought to be able to check circuit and trace fault.
Power flows from stop fuse 15A to brake switch. From there it goes to the electronic flasher relay (in relay box). That's what sends power to the stop lights. Doesn't make sense since the brake lights don't flash, but that controls power to both the parking lamps and the brake light. The high mount stop light does NOT go through this relay. So if the high mount is off when your foot is off the pedal, then it's a bad relay.
Check the light units! Might be a mass problem
Full-time running lights? Bad ground or connection in tail-light socket/s. Pull out one bulb, if the other goes out, your issue is in or around the socket you pulled bulb from.
- Why are my blink lights / brake lights working? I have a 72 Ford f100 and the rear left turn signal, brake ligh, hazard light isn't working. The light workings for "running lights " but does not blink or light up when I press the brake. I replaced the bulb. I don't know where to start
- Dead spot in new brake light switch? 2004 ford Taurus I just put a new switch in and it is doing the same thing. Lightly pressing on pedal doesn't turn on lights. They turn on after quarter to half way down. Any help is appreciated.
- 99 Ford ranger XLT base model. Park lights, dash lights, and license plates lights out I checked online and realized it was probably a fuse which it is. Fuse 11 in my power distribution box. The problem is I keep replacing at and soon as I turn on my lights it blows instantly. Have replaced it multiple times. So then I looked under my truck and disconnected the wiring to my taillights and replaced the fuse, it worked it didn't blow. Dash lights and license plates lights were on so I figured some where there's a problem with the brake lights. Any suggestions?
- Headlights, instrument cluster lights, tail lights, and dome light all stopped working at once? 1995 Mustang GT convertible, fuses are good, switch is good. I'm about to do a voltage drop test on it tomorrow but I wanted to see if you Ford guys knew something that I'm overlooking.
