Was informed brake lights were not working, then when I stopped the vehicle and put it in park and restated could not get out of park so installed a new brake switch which worked for less then an hour. Thinking it could be a fuse checked the manual list of fuses and could not find a listing for the fuse that went to the brake switch so checked fuses one by one to see if they were bad all okay. So I assume the new switch was bad and replaced it with another and they one did not work either. I can now get out of park to drive the vehicle but I have no brake lights which is not safe at all. I was just told that Ford had a recall on this issue some yeas back but I never received one. I feel that something more is going on here.
