Brake light
Hey fellas . I have a 2006 f150 4x4 supercab as my daily driver. The brake light in the dash stays on almost all the time. A couple of times it went off for about 10 minutes, once when it was snowing and once when it was wet. Would anybody know what all this is connected to and possibly have any idea of where the wiring runs and , of course the color. I would like to trace the wire as I think there may be an issue with the wire or it’s contacts. Thanks

Warning -- could be a serious brake issue . Low brake fluid , master cly trouble , abs trouble lots of things . Look at codes --auto zone will get codes for you . If you have not experienced brake failure-its not something you will forget its pretty terrorizing. My emergency brake has saved me several times, make sure you try yours . Get back with us and we will look up some diagrams for you

My '07 has the same thing. Brakes mechanically good, did checks according to shop manual. All checked okay. My issue is in my gauge cluster. This is an issue, gauge repair place can fix it. Just food for thought if all else checks okay.

Yep, known problem. 99% chance it's your instrument cluster. Next your dome light/cargo light will act like you're in Poltergeist
edit: my parking brake doesn't work on my '07 so I put a little black tape over BRAKE light. Solved.
