Installed my own new brakes myself and can't get them to install since it is apparently computer driven.

Why do you need new brakes for 1 year old truck. Did you compress the pistons back into the calipers before trying to slide it back on. Did you not get the brake pads on. May need to push the spring that holds them in place and slide them on. If you didnt do these steps. Start there. Next time give more information what the real problem is so we dont have to guess what the problem is.

I installed a new turn signal switch in the steering column, and it fixed my brake light problem. Evidentally the turn signal and brake light wires use the same plug wires. It cost about $70. I would suggest doing this.

SOURCE: 98 Ford Explorer Brake lights not working,top brake light does
I had a similar problem like this with my 98 explorer once; neither brake lights worked and the top one stayed on very dimly at all times. It turns out both of my brake lights went bad at exactly the same time, which for some reason made the top light stay on. Felt like an idiot, but all I needed to do was change the bulbs.
CAUTION: Do not remove the guide pins or guide pin boots unless a problem is suspected. The guide pins are meant to be sealed for life and are not repairable. Use Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10) or an equivalent silicone compound meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A for re-lubing the caliper slide pins. Other greases can swell the guide pin boots, resulting in contamination and accelerated corrosion or wear of the caliper slide pin mechanism. CAUTION: Use a hub-mount brake lathe if necessary to machine the rear brake disc. For additional information on machining brake discs, refer to Section 206-00 . CAUTION: To prevent interference with rear disc brake caliper operation, install only the correct caliper bolt.
