Brake Lights Working Good Now
OK,
Thank you for the help on the trailer lights relay package info I asked for. Once I reviewed that I was able to test and determine that the cause for my on-going brake light intermittent operations was not related to these relays. I then did find the real culprit. It was the multi-function turn signal switch/high/low beam, wiper control. Once I isolated the issues to that, I pulled one from the junk yard (and because it was of the same age, had the exact same issues). I pulled it apart (boy there are a lot of moving parts in there), cleaned it up, reassembled (the springs and ball bearings required a lot of patience), and now works like a champ. If I ever re-build the 2nd unit, I will take and post some pic's.
I now have a CEL issue (but Explorer is running as strong as ever). I will start a new thread on that.
