Broncos

Hi i have a 1991 ford bronco with a 351w. Yesterday i went offroading and mudding for the first time. When i got home i notice that my brake lights were on so i turned the lights of and they still stayed on. I checked i all fuses but nothing they still wont turn off. If anyone can help me i would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Check the brake light sensor up on the brake pedal under the dash. It prolly got bumped so it thinks the pedal is always depressed.

Edit... Also make sure your brake pedal is coming all the way back up, if not check for bad booster.

If the booster is gone...you will know it...basically you will have to stop the Bronco like Fred Flintstone does.

For the brake lights to stay on like that..it has the be the brake switch.

Once you push in yer brakes it opens the circuit on the switch to give yer brake lights power to turn off. You will have to adjust it if it stays on. to adjust the switch you have to turn it so when you let go of yer brakes the button on the switch will push in and close the circuit.
