Hi everyone Im New Here! Need Help!

To start out I have a 67 Ranger w/ AC. My bigest problem is the brake lights. As you may have guessed the wiring is a nightmare. My question is, is the brake light switch the small attachment on the brake linr right after the master cylinder? The guy that had this truck before me must have thought he was an electrical wiz because its going to take weeks to get it straight. Also does anyone....not all at once please... know where I can get replacement trim for the exterior. Thanks All!!!!

the brake light switch is mounted on the brake pedal inside the cab. the little thing on the line is the proportioning valve and the wire comming out of it go the the brake faliure warning light. you can buy replacement trim out of most of the parts books

The brake light switch is under the dash, attached to the brake pedal. Plastic, about three inches long, with two wires attached. Usually red. Here on-line (menu on the right) read the tech article on stop lamps for older Ford trucks.

originally it had the switch under the dash but i guess the guy could have changed it over somehow and put a hydraulic switch in it.
