Please identify your vehicle.

Does the high-mount stop light work or not work?

Its a 2000 f250 v10 6.8 4x4 and all three including the high mount brake lights do NOT work. Keep in mind every other light you can think of works, and the brake light is same as running light but they just dont get brighter when the brake is applied.

No, the brake light is NOT the same as the running (park light). Might be the same bulb, but it's a different circuit.

Did you check the fuse for the stop lamp circuit (see owner's manual)?

Actually i just fixed it about 5 minutes ago, there was a bad connection from the fuse and the slot it goes in for the stop lamp circuit. Thanks for your help!
