Freaky Brake Lights Being Activated?
This is on a Ford 04 Windstar.
The van hasn't been driven in hours but than light up like they are being used. This has caused the battery to run down over a few hours and is pissing me off.
Is there some sort of short in the brake light system? Or is this Windstar possessed by a demon from brake light Hell?
Okay mechanic but don't know where to start.
The problem is likely in the spring that lifts the brake pedal up (too slack lets it sag into turning on the lights) or in the brakelight switch itself.
"Okay mechanic" Really? A real mechanic would know where to start DIAGNOSIS. That's what they do. A parts changer Might look at the stop light switch under the dash at the brake pedal rod.
Brake switch is faulty. 5 minute fix.
Check the brake light switch up on the brake pedal under the dash. It may be coming apart or loose and out of adjustment.
I say it is possessed. Find a local excorcist. 1-800-04S-ATAN.

- 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?
- My brake lights won't flash when I drive? Okay so I got pulled over and given a fix it ticket for my brake lights. I drive a 1995 Ford tauros. All my light work fine. When I turn on my head lights my brake lights come on to but they just won't flash when I'd I step on my break pedal. Thinking about replacing the light bulb but not sure since they do come on when I turn on my head lights at night so they work?
