Brake Light Issue
K,

Just bought a 1997 F250 7.3L 2wd Extended cab, auto, 148,000 miles. This is the problem? My brake lights are not working while traveling down the road, but when I slow down or coming to a stop at a red light, they work???? but I have to press on the brake pedal really hard??? Help!

Sounds like the brake light switch on the pedal is going bad or needs adjustment
