Hi guys:
so, it seems that "big red" now has another issues. I noticed that unless I press the brake pedal firmly, the brake lights don't come on. I was stopped by an old dude who told me I had no brake lights, so I got out and checked. Pressed the brake, lights come on. No problem, I thought.
Of course, I started testing it out and found that unless I press the brakes firmly, and hold them firmly, the lights do not come on. So, if I am at a stop light, and put enough pressure to keep the car stopped, the lights are off. However, I know that they work. I even had my mechanic look at them, and he said they work, but when I got home, I backed into my spot, and noticed that if I applied the brake softly, the lights do not come on.
Here is what I have done thus far:
New brake light switch. (Ford OEM)
Bled system
checked and replaced fuses.
Ford changed the cruise control brake cutoff (recall) I am thinking that this is why I am having issues.
Has anyone ever experienced this? I am confused and annoyed.
I would be happy to buy yet another switch, but it seems to be a waste of money.
