No brake lights
Son's truck: 1997 F-150 extended cab. He just called, the brake lights are out again. When this happens it locks the shifter in park and blows fuse #13 which controls the brake pedal interlock and the brake lights. I need clues where to start trouble shooting this over the weekend. I know electrical problems are hard enough to trace without trying to do it over the internet, but is possible it is the switch shorting out? Should I go ahead and buy a new one so we'll have it on hand for this weekend? Any suggestions you can give me I would be gratefull.

SEARCH keywords "SCDS", "Cruise recall", etc... for prior discussions.
