1995 Ford 3rd Brake Light inop. Q is: What type

1995 Ford 3rd Brake Light inop. Q is: What type bulb is used in the 95 Explorer 3rd brake light? Opening up the light leads me to believe it's a gas tube. Later model Explorers Look to be LED - Right now I'm feeling about as dumb as can be - Ford dealer got over $600 for install that did not work! Also now being told ''lamp ballast'' is defective ($300++ to buy and install)

get a manuel from an auto parts store. in this manuel it will have etm(electrical troubleshooting manuel) it shows the brake lights and wires colors of wires. trace the wire color from the fuse using the diagram. purchase a test light from wal mart to see if your wire has power. if it does there may be a bad connection or component but hte etm shoud show you what components are on the circuit.any questions email me at [email protected]

There should be some adjustment on it, if not replace it, it's about a $12 item.

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.

SOURCE: Brake light, reverse light and turn signal issues

Hello. The symptoms you are describing are likely due to a poor ground. Temporarily install a new ground wire by securing a piece of copper wire to the frame with a self tapping screw. Use this ground wire along with the hot wire to see if each of these lights works. If it does, trace the ground wire back to the frame, unscrew it and clean up the metal with emery cloth so you reestablish a good ground.

When light switch is off only 3rd brake light work, when switch is on the back lights are stuck on 3rd light works normal what could be the problem?

Are the brake lights stuck on or are you just seeing the parking lights on without the brake lights lighting up? Sounds like you have no rear brake lights, check your emergency light switch. Sometimes it may not switch completely, turn it on and off a few time and then recheck it.

Reverse light work but brake light and rear turn signal doesnt

If your brake lights and turn signals are out, you most likely have a blown fuse, burnt bulb, or a problem in the steering column.----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a 2003 ford explorer sport trac. The brake light are not working. The bulbs are fine. The fuses are fine. The 3rd light works. What could be the problem?

it could be the brake light switch, you should find it under the dash around the area of the brake pedal , a wire may have come off or the switch could be loose & needs to be adjusted & tightened up, also check the wiring around the brake lights for any loose or disconnected wires..........hope this helps......cheers.

I have a ford taurus 95 and the passenger brake lite and blinker is not working but when u put the lites on the bulbs work but still no brake lite and blinker

You most likely need a new bulb in that location.
It is a dual filament bulb......one filament for the brake and signal and one for the running light ....both in the same bulb.
Remove the old bulb and get a replacement bulb using the # printed on the old bulb.
