F-150 Brake Light Close

Ford-Trucks.com forum member needs help with his Ford Super Duty’s brake light. Can you help? 

Every once in awhile you come across some issue with your ride that you just can’t figure out. The Ford Trucks Enthusiasts forums are a great place to start. Our forum members have a lot of experience with Ford trucks, and a wealth of wisdom to impart.

Ford-Trucks.com forum member Snapon90 started a thread in the “1999-2016 Super Duty” forums as his break lights are stuck on.

2018 Ford F-150

He explains:

Just had new hydro booster and reservoir put on. Noticed my brake lights were staying on constant. Replaced the relay switch on the brake pedal but they still are staying on, and my auto start won’t start unless I unplug the relay switch. Any ideas?
He was asked if the pedal was depressing the switch, by member VanS,ak, who added that perhaps “they adjusted the pedal also and now it’s making contact with the switch all the time?”
Snapon90 replied:

I couldn’t see an adjustment for the pedal. The pedal is non stop contact to the switch. My rod didn’t adjust. And the pedal is squishy.

So what is causing the issue? If you have some advice, ideas, or know-how, head over to the thread and give Snapon90 some help.
