2000 Expedition Brake Lights

Hi Folks,

Here's my situation...

Just returned from having my oil changed and have discovered I have no brake lights. The 3rd brake light at the top works fine. The turn signals work fine. The tail lights work fine. The turn signals don't flash quick or anything.

Just my left and right brake lights do not function.

I do tow trailers, I noticed last weekend I had no brake lights on the snowmobile trailer, but I just attributed that to the fact that it was poor connections... same excuse everybody who tows trailers uses.

I did not try the emergency/4 way flashers to see if they work. I will check at lunch.

Alot of messages here are poiting to the multi-function switch in the steering column. Does this make sense?

Any assistance or ideas would be most appreciated.

Regards,

-Bryan

Bryan, have you checked the fuses? There are several different fuse boxes in the expedition. I had the same problem and had a hell of a time finding the location of the fuse. I believe it was under the hood in one of the boxes. If I remember correctly there are 3 seperate boxes in all. Plus, the trailer light wiring is seperate from the vehicle. In other words, your brake lights could work on the trailer, but not on the truck. Or vise versa...Hope that helps, good luck. Mike

Thanks Mike. I will go through all the fuses under the hood. I did see that there are a lot of fuses.

I hope it is that simple, but something tells me that it is not.

Take care,
