I have the same problem with the brakelights on my -96 explorer. The bulbs are ok, I've changed the brakelightswitch, There is connection to the fuse which is ok, but when I meassure in the rear there is no contact. I have ruled out the connector for the trailerhitch. There seems to be a lose connection between the fusebox and the connector in the rear. Does anybody know???
