Check the brake switch located above the brake pedal. There should be power on one wire all the time and power on another with the brake pedal depressed. If there is no power with the pedal depressed than the switch is bad.

Also check for broken wires at the switch.

Make sure the bulbs are good. I have run into all the bulbs burned out more than once.

SOURCE: 98 mercury villager OBD I code P0135

This code refers to the front oxygen sensor on Bank 1. The heated circuit in the oxygen sensor decreases time needed to enter closed loop. As the O2 heater reaches operating temperature, the oxygen sensor responds by switching according to oxygen content of the exhaust surrounding it. The ECM tracks how long it takes for the oxygen sensor to begin switching. It the ECM determines (based on coolant temp) that too much time elapsed before the oxygen sensor began operating properly, it will set P0135.
Repair short or open or high resistance in wiring harness or harness connectors.
Since you have already changed out your O2 sensor (as long as you used to OEM replacement and not the "Universal" replacement) you should not have to replace it again. You might check your thermostat to part of the time it takes for the O2 sensor to start switching being based on coolant temp, if your thermostat is not operating properly, it could cause the coolant temp to take longer than what is considered by the ECM to be normal.

The squeeling noise you hear could be the bearings in your power steering pump, when bearings go bad they tend to make a squeeling noise.

Be sure to ALWAYS have more than 1/4 of gasoline in your tank, this may be caused when having it below that. Also having less than 1/4 could damage your fuel pump wich is an expensive part, so it's good on taking care of it.

The Igntion module is a good possibility. Sometimes if they are faulty, the heat will effect them causing this to happen.

98 VILLAGER BRAKES LIGHTS NOT COMING ON AFTER

If you have checked all your fuses and the brake light bulbs are good then the brake light switch might be bad, it should be located on a bracket at the top of the brake pedal. when you press on the brake pedal it pushes this switch in to activate the brake light's.

Dash and cornering lights

I suspect you have a bad brake bulb in one of the rear tail lights.

Shorted. change them one at a time.
