hey every one , i have a problem with my break lights , i have none ! i have a 97 f250 & i clanged the rear bulbs & checked the fuses , nothing ! any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

thanx !

 

You have checked what I would.Bump Bump

 

Do they light up for anything else? Like running lights or turns? If not I'd check the wiring that goes from the frame at the rear bumper to the lights. If both lights are out I'd be checking for a ground wire. Worse case scenario pull the lights and ohm the wires to see.

 

There is a brake pedal position (BPP) switch mounted on the brake pedal lever that you should also check.

First Diagram 2001 - Should also be good for 1999 & 2000.
Second Diagram 2002-2003

 

Did you check the switch on the break pedal?

EDIT: Damn Robin your fast

 

Robin's always on the ball! Just relized he said 97 don't know if that changes anything though.

 

Well, I see not much has changed here.

I know this does not help him but I am sure the 99-03 PSD wiring diagram will not either.

 

Here are the Exterior Lights Prints for your truck.
Looking at these prints it could easily be your hazard switch. I would check it. As well as the brake switch on the pedel.

 

But it might help a 99-03 owner who runs across this thread.

 

Very true Robin. As always good info. Hope all is well with you and the truck, take care.

 

You go Robin

 

All's well Mike , and you take care out there.

 

hey guys , sorry , i just realized i posted this in the wrong year , i did state though that it was a 97 , but still i apologize .could one of the mods move this to the right place ? thanx

also , i changed my switch , so the only other thing would be the wiring ?? could i just run a ground & a positive to it for now ? its to freaking cold here to be chasing wires ?? thanx again to every one !

 

DOES YOUR TRUCK HAVE A BRAKE LIGHT RELAY? THE RELAY MAY HAVE GONE BAD IF IT HAS ONE.

 

I traced everything on my super duty. Found the switch at the pedal was bad. Replaced it in 5 min and has been good.
