79 E350 Brake Lights
Do the 79 and some 80+ models have the same basic wiring for lights?(have a F series book)
Brake lights do not work, tail and signals do. Also cannot read the fuse box printing (has glass tube fuses).
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Cal

Cal, since tail and turns work, I suspect you have a bad brake light switch. It's attached to the brake pedal on your model (I think). You can test it with an ohmmeter, but you may need to see a chiropactor afterwards.

Don: Did that, then looked wires over front to back, then got out the WD40 and sprayed the fuse box (little rust and dust). I took out every one, swtiched a couple around and presto.
Went to NAPA bought a handful of new ones seems okay now.A lot of orphan wires under there to clean up. It appears fuse box diagram different than 80's F150.
If any one has a FUSEBOX DIAGRAM, would appreciate it.
