HELP BRAKES
 

I have a 1990 5.0 and I have a problem with my Brake lights. They do not go on I push on the brake pedal. The rear lights do come on when I turn on the lights but the brake does not come on. I guess just the "parking" brake comes on in the corners but no "strong" brake light when I push on the pedal. I have checked the fuse and it is good. I bought new lights and still no luck can any1 help me please

Sounds like maybe its your brake light switch

Hey thnx for the help wild but can you tell me where the light switch is?? I have never done any electrical work so I don't know where it might be. I bought a Chiltons book but I cant find it in any of the diagrams. Thank you once again...

sorry to move the post up but I am in need of help, any help would be nice thank you all

It will be under the dash on your brake petal
It's a switch about 3" long with a 2 wire plug.

I had the same problem. Turns out the little sockets my brake lights go into were bad. I could either have tail lights or brake lights, but never both at the same time.

I had the same problem on a ranger I use to own.It was the brake light switch located on the pedal. I went through like three swithces before one would last.Look up toward the top of the pedal, I believe only a clip holds it on. Hope this helps

Thanx peoples I just woke up, its my day off so I am going to check out that switch...you guys have been great...I hope it solves it if not then I will just stick my hand out the window...=o)

Thank you all for the help about the wiring harness by the brake pedal. Just wanted to let you smart people know that the freakin harness got unplugged, dooih!
