Test the power at the out side of the switch with the brake on. If nothing there the switch is faulty. If there is voltage there, you have a fault between there and the lights or at the connection at the lights.

I had an 89 Thunderbird. Problem seemed to be the brake light switch. Easily replaced by yourself, about $50. from Ford, probably cheaper from an Auto Parts store

2003 jetta. EPC lite is on. brake lites do not work. cruise does not work.

Check all your ground points. The brake lights and cruise may be grounded to the same spot. Re-check the cruise fuse and brake/tail light fuses.

93 Lincoln Town Car. I have to press extremely ******* brake to get car out of park, so hard I am afraid I am going to break something. Is this a solenoid or whatever. I am a woman so my knowledge of cars...

Have some one help you, start the car and have some one stannd behind it and watch the brake lights.
step on the brake normally and see if the brake lights come on, if they do then see if it comes out of park, the most common problem is the brake light switch fails and it does not release shifter. if you step on the brake and the brake lights do not light up then switch is bad , then step on brake hard and see if lights come on if so then again brake switch is bad, the brake light switch when brake pedal is pushed sends power to brake lights and then sends power to shifter release to unlock shifter. good day.

How I take the air out of the lines brakes a lincon town car 93

Should be a little fitting on the brake calipers for you to loosen, get someone to pump the brakes and tighten them as soon as the fluid comes out, that goes for all four, That is the best way to do it.

Schematic_Diagram 93 lincoln town car tail lights and license plate light.

Sounds like either your wiring from the Light switch is bad or the Light switch itself is bad. Check with your Owners manual to see if the "Parking lights" have a separate fuse.

Your tail and License plate lights would light with either the Headlights or the "Parking" light selected at the switch as would the front parking lights. If all lights except the headlights are out, your problem is closer to the light switch than at the mounting points of each Parking light or License plate light.

This is one case where you will not know if a dead wire off of the switch is dead because of a bad switch or a bad wire. You would have to detach the harness at the switch, test the wire bundle or jump the switch with power to see how it distributes power through the Harness. It will take a lot of time to rule out the switch. It may be cheaper to replace the switch and then work from there.

What is the part called right above my break pedal that controls my brake light in my 93 lincoln towncar

It is a BOO, Brake On Off switch. Most part stores just call it a brake light switch. If you have one switch on the pedal and you have cruise control, the switch does both jobs. Most cars have two switches though, one for cruise and the other for the brake lights. The one for the brake lights is usually just two wires.

Tail light out replaced both brake & tail lite bulbs nothing

It sounds like your brake light switch is out.  It's located on the brake pedal and is relatively easy and cheap to replace.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!

How do you remove the power window switch housing (the cover that lays over the switches) off the driver door of a 1993 lincoln town car. My power door lock switch fell down through the opening and I have...

I have a 93 town car, same thing happened. DO NOT PRY ANYTHING !!! You should remove the door panel and you will see screws that hold the switches in place . Poor design for them to have metal screws going into cheap plastic. Some jb weld should do the trick,
