SOURCE: 2001 ford explorer sport trac

Just found the answer on another site. Sure enough went out removed the 3 philips head screws in the steering column opened it up and walla a wire connection had pulled itself free. When my son uses my truck he always uses the tilt steering, when I get in I have to readjust it. because of this the wire connection pulled itself out. I simply pushed it back in an blinker and brake light are now working. My husband is now trying to figure a way to secure the wire connection so it doesn't pull itself out again. Hope this helps others, either by saving the cost of a dealership or machanic or from getting rear ended.

SOURCE: Left rear brake light stopped working but bulb and fuses are OK.

These are Dual Function Bulbs. They control the Parking Lights and the Brake Lights. This Bulb is Burnt out on the Brake Coil inside the Bulb. I have actually seen Bulbs that were Bad But you could not Tell by jast looking at them. It should be fine with a New Bulb. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

No power to left rear turn/ brake light

Check the display. Ask a helper to step on the brake pedal while you check the lights from the rear. If no lights appear, check the fuse that connects the brake lights. The owners manual will show the location of the fuse box and which fuse is for the brake lights. Pull out the fuse and look at the wire in the central window. If the wire is broken, replace the fuse. Make sure the new fuse is not blown, and carries the same amperage.
Take note of lights that are out, if any are working. The problem may be cured by replacing the bulb in a brake light that's out. A burned out bulb has a broken filament and a dark brown spot on one side. Check the owners manual for bulb type.
Check the circuit if replacement bulbs and fuses do not restore the lights. Find the wiring diagram in the vehicle assembly manual. The circuit for the brake lights runs from the battery to the fuse, to the pedal switch, to a connection plug, to the lights. The circuit has to be checked with a volt tester at all points.
Check the battery power and the light on your volt tester. Turn the ignition key far enough to activate the electrical systems. Turn on the lights to check for battery power. If the battery has power, ues it to check the volt tester. Put the black lead (the ground) from the volt tester on the negative battery terminal. Briefly touch the red tester light on the positive terminal. The light on the volt tester should flash brightly.
Test the wiring to the fuse. Clip the ground wire to solid metal near the fuse. Touch the light tip to both sides of the fuse. Both should light the tester. If neither side lights, the wire between the battery and fuse is bad. If only one side lights, the fuse is blown.
Test the switch and wiring. Touch the light tip of the tester to both terminals on the brake pedal switch without putting any pressure on the pedal. One should carry power and the other should not. When both show power, the switch is stuck and the brake lights are always on. If neither shows power, the wiring between the fuse and the switch is bad. Now check both switch terminals while the pedal is depressed. Both sides should light the tester. If not, the switch is bad.
Check the connection plug. Unplug the connection and refer to the vehicle manual to identify the brake light wire. Touch the tester light on the brake light wire at the inner socket on the battery side. If the tester lights, the power is flowing to this point. If not, the wire between the plug and the pedal switch is bad.
Check the socket. Plug in the connector plug and remove the bulb. Touch the contact inside the socket. If the tester lights, the socket is good. The socket and wire running to the plug should be replaced if the tester doesn't light.
Check the bulb with the ground wire. The bulb must be in its socket. The ground wire running to the socket should be black or brown. Stab the tester through the insulation. If the tester lights, the bulb is good. Replace the bulb if it doesn't light.
Check the ground wire. Remove some of the insulation around the ground wire. Twist one end of the extra wire around the exposed ground wire. Touch the other end to a solid piece of metal. If the brake light comes on, the ground wire is bad.

My 1999 Ford F250 Super Duty Diesel 7.3L ... the Brake lights do not turn on when the pedal is pressed in. I have checked the fuse and it looks fine.

the brake light switch contacts the brake pedal arm under the dash, could be out of adjustment,but before doing that, use a tester to verify voltage to the switch. if you have power put the tester on the other wire and press the brake if it shows that you have power on both sides of the switch then the problem could be in the lights themselves. turn on your emergency flashers or turn signal and check at the back of the truck. if no lights are flashing check the bulbs and verify that the unit has a good ground. check for power at the light unit. if no power track the wires under the truck. you have a broken wire. good luck .

2000 Sable sedan - which fuse is brake lights? Don't have manual.

USE A FUSE TESTER, TEST ALL THE FUSES, UNDER THE HOOD & INSIDE THE CAR. THERE ARE TEST POINTS FACING OUT ON THE FUSES. THEY CAN REMAIN IN THE FUSE BOXES. TURN ON IGNITION SWITCH DURING THE TESTING. POWER ON ONE SIDE ONLY, BAD FUSE. POWER ON BOTH SIDES, GOOD FUSE. POWER ON NEITHER SIDE SPARE FUSE.

Need to replace the fuse for 1998 Explorer brake lights

Check for the busted fuse in the fuse box. This can be done using a multi-tester, Set the tester to 1 x 10 Ohms. Using a multi-tester, put one probe of the tester to one end of the fuse, while the other probe to the other end of the fuse. Good fuse will move the pointer to zero,
while bad ones won't. Check the fuse one by one.

Taillights and signals work but no brake lights?

Check the brake light switch. It should be energized when the switch is depressed. (constant power in and power out only when pedal is pressed) Taillights and signals power through the steering column and light switch. BUT first check the fuses. I seem to remember there being a fuse for the truck brake lights and another for the trailer brake lights. Use a tester and check trailer wiring brake lights. If they work, look for the truck brake light fuse.

99 svt brake lights

Check the fuses in the fuse box. Use the diagram on the back of the cover. also check to see if there is power to them by using a light bulb tester. That should determine if you have a short or a cut wire somewhere.
