Hey Everyone, thanks for watching. Be sure to check out what's happening with this truck nowadays. I'm completely rebuilding it from the ground up. You can follow this link for the playlist. Thanks! ruclips.net/p/PLHRSPnh4bEkx3DBhC0MNVElRx1hxOu952
Thanks man! 95 F250 7.3, changed TPS pedal assembly, and thanks to your video, I was able to replace my brake light switch. WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE! New switch, and everything is awesome. Thanks man
Great video. Just a warning. I have a 1996 F250 XLT. Wasn’t paying attention when I took the old one out. Turns out my switch is 180 degrees opposite from yours when you put it on the pivot point between the brake pedal and the brake master cylinder rod. It will go on just like yours, but the brake lights won’t work. Took me a couple hours of testing before I figured out my mistake. Experience is a cruel teacher lol. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Best of luck
Helped immensely! The black grommet fell out without me seeing where it came from. Could not get it back together until I watched your video. It saved me!!!
I just fixed this issue. The switch will slightly move causing the lights not to come on. I have to constantly reposition the switch. Any recommendations? 1995 F350
I am just now dealing with the same issue because my cruise control won't come back on thank you for showing me how you were one of the first videos to pop up, I have a 94 Ranger it it looks exactly the same I wasn't exactly sure if it was a C pin or not
This video is seven years old and I wonder how that truck is now that he was working on if he still owns it??? But I’m doing the exact same job in about five minutes so I appreciate the video😅
I had no idea my switch was going bad until I got in & couldn't shift it one day. Got the part, five minutes with a leatherman and barely any blood. I was worried that linkage was going to be a nightmare. Thanks for the walkthrough!
I'm replacing my junk/ wimpy vac booster with a hydro unit (yes its a stock part for my f350 7.3ps) and I'm struggling to reinstall booster rod with switch and now I know it's doable with booster and pedal bolted tight. I got thr pedal out of a 94 f series with hydro and the hydro and vac booster have matching part numbers between the 2 trks. I can't wait to feel the difference I've read between vac and hydro boosted brakes since I tow a 13k trl. The fun part will be getting the new stock power steering lines installed
Does a faulty break light switch prevent you from being able to shift out of park? I have a 1993 ford f 150 and I’m not able to shift out of park when the brake is pressed
That is a good question. I'm not entirely sure, but it's possible. I would have to study a wiring diagram to know for sure. Maybe someone else will come along and help us out with the answer.
So I have similar issue my brake lights sometimes go on and sometimes they don’t I’ve checked fuses and the taillight harness and found nothing wrong with it could this be my issue the brake switch possibly going bad?
Could you explain the wires that the switch plugs into?What wires do what? On my 95 f150, the switch plugs into a plug that has two green wires that come out. What are those two little green wires? I would like to tap into the one that activates the taillights and put a ON/OFF switch on it. So when I hit the switch it will cut power off to my tail lights.
Is the green wire the hot wire or common to switch? And the black is the ground I guess. I’m building a wiring harness for my 86 mustang. I gutted all the factory wiring and I’m running the AutoRod Controls relay bread board, and the Painless radio delete switch panel for my break light, taillight, headlights, nitrous bottle blanket, and nitrous purge solenoid. I can figure it out if I can’t find any quick information. I’m just seeing if there’s any other information available. Thanks for the video.
I dne all but lights want come on when on brake pedal. I need help cause lights wer once jus stuck on before changing old switch now jus third brake light come on. But not left an right light
So... I woke up this morning and both of my brakelights don't work on my 91 F250... My hazard flashers work so that allowed me to rule out the fuse... In the past someone jerry rigged some trailer lights into the system and they have never worked and side effects of their backwoods installation have only caused me problems (like the rear wire harness I didnt know was tucked behind the bumper falling down and shorting everything out when it got torn up on the highway)... Anyhow, I've replaced so much on this truck I can only assume this is next...
It might be a good idea to head to a wrecking yard and grab a harness from a donor truck. Even if it's not in great shape, you could repair a harness as it was meant to be and replace the headache you've been dealing with. Something to consider. You seem like you know what you're doing, so I imagine you've already thought of this.
@@GettinJunkDone Turns out, firing off my hazards (for the first time ever) fried the brakelight part of the , hazard/turnsignal/brakelight master switch in the steering column... Which totally sucked....
I have a weird problem wonder if this is it or any help. My brake lights only 1 comes on. 1991 ford f150. Tail lights come on both sides but only 1 brake light comes on when brake applied. They are the same bulbs 2 filaments. I've replaced bulb and fuse. Could it be this or I was thinking a short in the wire leading to the light.
Great video. On mine, somehow the brake lights stay on when I put everything back together. Not sure where I went wrong. I have two white plastic washers. One that goes on before the rubber one and last right before the pin. Seems to be to tight for some dumb reason.
Hey thanks for the video! This might be a stupid question but what is the orientation of the video? haha like is the top of the screen the front of the vehicle or have you take a wheel off? Thanks
Another video mentioned that the round bushing can often be uneven, resulting in faulty operation. He micro measured two, and each had variable thickness, altho' one still worked while the other didn't.
I bought a used truck a year ago and that part was in the glove. I said to myself what the hell is that. Somehow I ended up here and now I know. That's incredible
I’m having a bit of a problem, my 13 fuse keeps popping and it only pops when the brake light switch is plugged in I’ve taken out all the brake lights and as far as I can tell the wires are ok
I fixed it, ended up being a wire going from the brake switch to the 3rd brake light rubbing against the body. Then when I removed it and screwed the panel back in I accidentally screwed the entire wire harness so had to redo that as well lol was fun while it was tied together tho, had the interior lights go on and the brake lights and the warning buzzer go off when I pressed the brake lol
Glad you did the video but you blocked the way the u part of the switch goes weather it's up or down . The plastic o ring that goes in next to the cotter pin .
?... Will that switch affect the turn signals ¿ specifically the left/ which is the one I'm having issues with. I recently noticed that at a red light. sometimes my left signal works when I'm stepping on the brake and as soon as I let go of the brake the signal stops. That's why I'm wondering if that's connected somehow🤔 but I'm thinking about replacing that stop light switch. Ty.
I found the problem with my left turn signal it's in the fuse box if I would move the Box what kind of signal the blinker comes on so it's a loose wire on the fuse box!!!!
Good video Joe, very informative. Question, what are the symptoms of a faulty brake light switch...aside from the obvious...My F150's lights are all out of whack and I'm trying to rule out different problems, just noticed the switch last night. Thanks in advance.
Cotter pin can be removed by hand its weirdly shaped but if you look at it carefully you'll see that you need to turn the pin just a bit then it just pulls off, but pliers are also my go to lol.
I'm having similar problems with my '89 full size bronco... Tail lights work Left/right blinkers work Brake lights do not work Hazards work, but only the front marker lights...
so what do I do if I replace that part and the brake lights still dont work? because that's the situation I am in. I have replaced the brake light switch and both flasher relays . I have turn signals but no brake lights and no hazards (the no hazards might be a separate issue because I know those have not worked in a while but only recently discovered the brake lights not working)what else could it be!!!!????

Thanks for the heads up, I’ve got a 1996 F350 XLT I’m willing to bet it’s going to be the same way as yours
Did the same crap and It threw a spark in my face
Thank God ford and chevy didn't change much over the years and thanks for showing me now i can replace the brake light switch on dad's bronco
Thanks. You made this project entirely simple and completely understandable. Great video. Thanks again.
I am about to attempt this in a motorhome. Pray for me....meanwhile, this vid was a lifesaver! thanks!
Appreciate it bro for the complete walk through. I was able to fix my truck without paying someone to do it for me.
That's the point, good work!
Thanks for taking the time to make this great video. Can't thank you enough!
Not a problem. I'm glad you liked it.
I almost got rear ended twice. My brake lamps work but only when I slam on the brakes. Going to replace this part and I hope it works.
Hope it worked out for you!
Did u ever figure out how to make them come on sooner?
Helped immensely! The black grommet fell out without me seeing where it came from. Could not get it back together until I watched your video. It saved me!!!
I just fixed this issue. The switch will slightly move causing the lights not to come on. I have to constantly reposition the switch. Any recommendations? 1995 F350
There's got to be a way to secure it in the correct position. Bending the it slightly, using washers, zipties. time to get creative.
Thanks for the video,i just installed a new brake light switch on my 1980 f100,and the brake lights work great. Thanks again.
I am just now dealing with the same issue because my cruise control won't come back on thank you for showing me how you were one of the first videos to pop up, I have a 94 Ranger it it looks exactly the same I wasn't exactly sure if it was a C pin or not

How should the switch be pointed when installed? Mine looks like it's pointed down to the floorboard... Does this make a difference?
brake lights are not working on my F seria 95 desial
So I have similar issue my brake lights sometimes go on and sometimes they don’t I’ve checked fuses and the taillight harness and found nothing wrong with it could this be my issue the brake switch possibly going bad?
Thank You! I wasn't sure where the plastic bushing went back into place as it fell to the floor as I pulled the switch out!
What holds the switch in place? It seems to just be hanging from the pedal...thanks.
Easy fix that worked for my 94 ranger. Thank you.
Glad it worked out!

Thanks, you helped me. I did not pay attention to how it was positioned and I needed to see how to install.
I changed it and the brake booster but the brake lights don’t work. Is there any thoughts on this?
Thanks! Clear and simple just like DIY videos should be!!!
Thank you so much.
Any chance my truck is blowing break light fuses because this switch is bad? Or does the issue likely lie elsewhere?
Is the green wire the hot wire or common to switch? And the black is the ground I guess. I’m building a wiring harness for my 86 mustang.

Great Vid thanks.. There should be a washer on the outside where the cotter pin is though.

Ahh your a life saver, I bought a 92 ranger that the switch was completely missing and for some reason I couldn't wrap my mind around how it set in.
So... I woke up this morning and both of my brakelights don't work on my 91 F250... My hazard flashers work so that allowed me to rule out the fuse...

What's the plastic ring for
What is that white wire? My connector only has 2 greens
I have a weird problem wonder if this is it or any help. My brake lights only 1 comes on. 1991 ford f150. Tail lights come on both sides but only 1 brake light comes on when brake applied. They are the same bulbs 2 filaments. I've replaced bulb and fuse. Could it be this or I was thinking a short in the wire leading to the light.
What if my lights won't turn off would it be the same problem

Me too.
Dude, thank you so much for making this video.
I'm glad it helped!
Yes thanks, it fixed my problem was about to take it to a mechanic, 7 dollars later fixed.
2022 Sept. I Removed that brushed, cleaned with Acetone , Made it come back to life again ......
I wonder what makes parts like this go bad, and I wonder if you can just open them up and maybe solder something or fix them somehow
Hey thanks for the video! This might be a stupid question but what is the orientation of the video? haha like is the top of the screen the front of the vehicle or have you take a wheel off? Thanks
I changed the brake switch on my but I really have to press hard on the pedal to get the lights to go on
Excellent. You saved me a bunch of heart ache.
Another video mentioned that the round bushing can often be uneven, resulting in faulty operation. He micro measured two, and each had variable thickness, altho' one still worked while the other didn't.
Does that work the four ways too in the back??????? Thanks, Roland
My parking brake switch/ light only seems to pop on occasionally, most of the time the light doesn't pop on though
I have a white bushing, and I took this apart so long ago doing a zf5 swap, that I don't remember where the plastic white bushing goes
So thankful for RUclips I pulled mine off and didn’t watch how it went back on 😂😂
same thing here😂😂
Es lo que estaba buscando , que pena que no está en español , pero me sirve mucho , muchas gracias.
Excellent video
Thanks for watching!
Gracias saludos desde Tijuana México 🇲🇽 gracias por compartir
I have no brake lights on my 95 f 150. If it's not the brake light switch what else could it be
Check the wiring. Sounds like something is shorted out, disconnected, or corroded.
Great great bro I just fixed mine thank you!! Keep the videos keeping
I bought a used truck a year ago and that part was in the glove. I said to myself what the hell is that. Somehow I ended up here and now I know. That's incredible
This'll work for a '97 f150 as well, just thought I'd let you know.
Thanks for making & posting this video...... got it done!
Best Regards,
Jon
got’er did on my 96 Ranger thanks, man!!
Is the switch adjustable??
Great video I had a 94 Ford Explorer everything looks similar do you think I would be able to do it the same way and what tools would I need
excellent video man!
Appreciate it! I hope it helped!
What's the difference between sls95t and sls97t?
how about this one.no tail lights,all outher lights works.when I step on brake fuel pump kicks on....
What are the chances of this switch, also control your backup lights
If anyone is ever wondering it’s the same for the LTD as well
True to 2002 crown vic its the same part
Thanks very much made this replacement very easy!!!!
Well explained great video
is it adjustable? I have to press my brake pedal all the way down for the light to come on.
I was having the same problem, bought the new switch now they work fine
My 1977 is exactly the same cept the electric connector is 2 separate wires That's where you might get on backwards im thinking
I’m having a bit of a problem, my 13 fuse keeps popping and it only pops when the brake light switch is plugged in I’ve taken out all the brake lights and as far as I can tell the wires are ok
Try testing/replacing the brake light switch itself.
Replace switch. Kept blowing my number 13 fuse too
I fixed it, ended up being a wire going from the brake switch to the 3rd brake light rubbing against the body. Then when I removed it and screwed the panel back in I accidentally screwed the entire wire harness so had to redo that as well lol was fun while it was tied together tho, had the interior lights go on and the brake lights and the warning buzzer go off when I pressed the brake lol
Thank you! I had mine apart and couldn't remember how it went back in... but i also had the orientation of the booster arm wrong.
Can't make my switch work, any ideas
Also works for '80 foxbody mustangs. Thanks!
Exactly what I was looking for!!🦊👍
Thanks. I'm gonna tackle this today.
Hope it worked out for you!
Thank you for the video, is the same for a 97’ f150?
Might be, but I couldn't be sure. Check part images online and compare it to what you see in the video. I wish I could be of more help.
Yes just a different part number
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great presentation Need a better closeup on the switch assemble washer location.
Thanks for the video I'm pretty sure now what's wrong with my brake lights
Glad you did the video but you blocked the way the u part of the switch goes weather it's up or down . The plastic o ring that goes in next to the cotter pin .
I replaced the tail light switch. I still have no brake lights. Its in but when depressed. No light

Thank you. Simple and detailed. I replaced the plastic one for the one shown. Thank you.
Thank you for your video, it was very helpful!
Just FYI as well this works for a Ford Taurus the 1994 version it’d just the rod goes to the passenger side so the switch is reversed
Good to know! Thanks for the input.
exactly the info i needed.thanks buddy!
Thank you!
'87 here, thanks!!
Switch for the 1988 Ford F150 Lariat is located under the dash.

Great video. Just relaced mine. I could not have done it without your video.
I'm having similar problems with my '89 full size bronco...
Tail lights work
Left/right blinkers work
Brake lights do not work
Hazards work, but only the front marker lights...
I ran into the same thing that you did. The fuse was blown.
My brake tail lights stay on maybe this is the problem
so what do I do if I replace that part and the brake lights still dont work? because that's the situation I am in. I have replaced the brake light switch and both flasher relays . I have turn signals but no brake lights and no hazards (the no hazards might be a separate issue because I know those have not worked in a while but only recently discovered the brake lights not working)what else could it be!!!!????
AsTheWheelsTurn did you ever get that figured out having the same issue you have
