If you haven't already check fuses. If fuses are good. My guess would be brake light switch. IT'S a little box at the top of the brake pedal behind the dash. Try replacing it.

Testimonial: "Thank's Cody, I lost three things in the hatch, reverse lights, top brake light only, and license plate light. The harness connection is probably corroded. Needs electric greese."

    It's the hatch top brake light only, reg. brake lights are working. Three separate things in hatch back only stopped working, license plate light,reverse lights, top brake light. It might be the connection( harness plug in controls everything in hatch.

BF wagon eye level brake light is not working have tested globe and globe is working. Also reverse lights not working

If the other brake lights work, probably broken wire. Eye level meaning Suv hatch? If so, the wires tend to break at the rubber boot from the hatch to the body. The reverse lights run threw the neutral safety switch on the transmission. Could be a broken wire, most times it is the switch.

My 1998 ford escort wagon keeps blowing the brake light fuse when brand pedai is depressed, have already changed the brake pedai switch.

In order to blow the fuse, you must have a short circuit to ground somewhere between the output of the stop light switch and the stop lights in the rear of the car. You will need to isolate these lamps to determine where the short is. If a were a betting man, I'd say the best bet is that the short may well be in the tailgate where the wire come from the body into the tailgate. This is usually near a hinge (the center stop light is in the tailgate). Since these wires move every time you open and close the hatch, they are more likely to beak and short out.

Accessing the rear hatch brake light on a 1999 Ford Expedition

There should be 2 screws holding the lenses on for the hatch light, remove those and cover comes off. The plate lights, access them under the rear bumper, they twist and pull out, then just pull the bulb out the connector. The running board light, under board, which will take the light assembly out, or a small flat head screwdriver, pop the lens off the top of board.
