NO break lights
I just bought a 89' Bronco, 
. It has beed sitting for about a year and a half, I've gon through just about every thing, I'm almost ready to put it to the pavement. Except that i can not get the break lights to work. OK, yes i've tried the bulbs, the pedal switch, fuse, WIRING well its kind of hard to trace the wiring through the rigg. I really need to get this one on the run, my Ford QUADVAN is costing me $$ lots, at 6 miles to the gallon

OK, I saw the muti- function switch in the chiltin book i got, I havent a clue when it comes to wiring. I have turn signals the work so do the running lights and headlights. Your right though I have no hazerds i was gong to dig into that one today. if you have any suggestions I,m listening LOL. I'm guessing the bpoblem is in the steering collumn?

It sounds like Fuse #5 is blown, it also controls the:
*Break Pressure Switch
*Rear Anti-Lock Brake Module
Here is the wiring, sorry I do not know how to make it bigger but wiil email you a clear one if you leave your email address on long enough for me to send it to you and then you can remove it.
Make sure you use a A for @ D, for "." N for net and C for com
This way it will not be caught as email address and I will know what it is so I can send it to you.

Thank you very much "subford" the wiring diagram helped to show the electric path. I got a new volt tester and test light, the fuse box has no power to it. if i jump to another fuse link i get break lights and all. How do i trace the offending wire through the quagmire of wires to repair it. My chiltons book does'nt show fuse to engine compartment wiring. i could run a new line to the fuse but that still leaves me with a faulty wire in there some where waiting to short and catch fire! any suggestions??

The fuse box has two or three sections to it. I believe it is fed by a wire that is hot all the time, and another wire that comes from the keyswitch. So what I am thinking is if you have power to other constant power devices, such as the dome lights, cigarette lighter, running lights, etc., then the problem you are having might be located in the fuse box itself.
I have never tried, but see if it is possible to take the fuse box out, or apart to see if you can see what's going on.
