97 Explorer. Brake switch wire broke!

[antigrav118]

i have a 1997 ford explorer 5.0 xlt. Today it got stuck in park after i cranked it up. I did a little research and decided it was probably the brake switch. I replaced the brake switch and it still didnt work- I looked a little harder and saw that one of the two wires that connect to the brake switch was broken. It is broken right on the connector to the brake switch so I cant try to connect anything. I havent been able to find a brake switch wire connector or anything online to fix my problem, and autozone didnt think they had one. Please help! I'll be forever grateful!

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the stock 95-01 section. Could you post a picture of the connector?

well i got it figured out. All the googling I did for a brake switch wire or brake switch sensor, etc. didnt help at all- there doesnt seem to be much info available on what to do if you find a broken wire there. I called around town to autozone, napa, advance auto parts and they didnt have anything for it. One of the Ford dealerships said there was none in stock, but I found another dealer that had one- Pretty easy wiring after getting the part. If anyone wants any info on it just PM me.
