Ford Excursion :: Brake Lights Won't Shut Off
2 weeks ago the running board lights stayed on for like 5 mins until I went out and messed around with this and that. Tonight I came home and all three brake lights will not shut off. Tried driving,flipping switches....
View 10 RepliesFord Excursion :: No Brake Lights After Cleaning Engine Bay
Cleaned up the engine bay today and now my brake lights don't work. They may have not worked before this though, I'm not sure... was backing into my driveway and noticed the reflection in the window that they were not on.
Reverse lights, tail lights, and turn signals all work fine, just the 3rd brake light and the lower brake lights are inop. Checked all the fuses that are related to the brakes and they are all intact.
Is there anything under the hood that could have gotten wet and would cause the brake lights to suddenly stop working? I had a P0306 and a bit of a rought idle, but some contact cleaner and driving it for a bit cleared it up. I drove it for a bit but the brake light problem still remains.
I just spoke to my wife who drives the Excursion 95% of the time and she said that they haven't been working for some time now and she just neglected to tell me. I guess maybe it's the brake switch off of the pedal... what should I look for on that?
Ford Excursion :: 2005 - No Brake Lights When Pedal Depressed
I have a 2005 Excursion 4x4 Limited 6.0 diesel. I had someone pull alongside me today and tell me my brake lights were out. Sure enough. I double checked and nothing at both lower lights and also nothing at the third brake.
So... here's the short version of the things I've checked so far:
1. no brake lights when pedal depressed.
2. running lights work fine
3. turn signals work fine
4. hazards work fine
5. brake lights DO illuminate when I press the brake button on my trailer brake controller
6. checked power to the green with red tracer wire going to the brake light switch on the pedal. 12 v present continuously
7. checked power to light green wire. 12 v present when pedal is depressed. 0 v when pedal is released.
8. checked power to tail lights (wish I had tried the trailer brake controller sooner, this step would have been unnecessary). voltage present (I think 10-12 v) when the running lights were turned on. 0 v when brake pedal depressed. I suspect now that I would have 12 v when squeezing my trailer brake controller button.
I was pretty convinced it was the brake switch at the pedal. But since I'm seeing the voltage pass through the light green wire when depressed.... I know the wiring to the lights are good because they work when pressing the trailer brake controller button.
So... Do I need to dig into the multifunction switch that I've been reading about? Does the power go from the pedal switch to the multifunction, then to the trailer brake controller? I'm really hoping that I don't have to dig into the column to check that multifunction switch!
Camry :: 2003 - Vibration In Brake Pedal When Driving On Highway And Coming Off
So I changed out my front brakes and rotors on my 03 camry le, and I noticed the driver side pads are more worn out than the passenger side. Also when im driving highway and coming off I notice some vibration in the brake pedal, its not all the time though. Do you think my caliper is partially sticking? I can manually push the piston on the caliper piston using a clamp.
View 4 RepliesFord Excursion :: Right Turn Signal / Hazard / Brake Lights Do Not Work
I have a 2003 V10 Excursion with an electrical problem. The right turn, right brake and right hazard light do not work but the flasher makes the clicking noise. When the right turn signal is on, the right front turn signal light works but is at double speed. The right rear light does not work. Same when brake and hazard are applied.
I checked the bulb socket with a multi meter and have no current. I also checked my trailer plug and have all functions work. Fuses were checked also for the brake circuit and were all ok.
Ford Excursion :: Hazards / Turn Signals / Brake Lights And Cruise Not Working
Well, on our way home during my leave, the wife made the comment about halfway home that the blinkers had quit working. I assumed it was probably a fuse or relay, so we came on home. I have been looking at it for a few days now (too hot to spend too much time out crawling around under the dash ) and I am still having some trouble. My brake lights, and hazards are not working, and neither is the cruise, which was working fine while I drove before the blinkers went out.
I have no power at all to the flasher relay. I replaced the brake light switch because it was definitely worn and looked a little burned inside when I pulled it out and inspected, but still nothing. Have not found any fuses blown. Brake pressure switch fused link harness seems good with my test light. Wipers, brights, everything else on the turn signal switch works fine. Can't even get the cruise to go into diagnostic mode, it only blinks once when I try.
Ford Excursion :: No Signal / Flasher / Brake Lights - Truck Is Too Week To Start
My 2000 Excursion 7.3 Limited started something all new this week. No brake lights, signal lights or flashers. The signal flasher relay is only a couple months old, but I don't think that's the issue. If I sit for just a moment with door open or park lights on, the truck is too week to start. Batteries seem fine and ALT is 14 volt charging when running (ALT replaced with used ALT about a month ago). Further, it has started having long starts like the glow plugs are not cycling. Any clue as to what might be going on?
View 1 RepliesSaturn - Vue-hybrid :: Died While Driving On Highway - Different Engine Lights Started Coming On
My 2007 Saturn Vue Hybrid died on Sunday while driving down the highway. The car has 101,500 miles and a brand new (November) battery. It was -5 degrees out at the time. Different engine lights started coming on, one at a time (the check engine light, the traction control light, the oil change light, then the seatbelt light) and then all of a sudden the entire dashboard went dark and the driving lights went out (it was close to sunset so we had the lights on). My fiance barely managed to steer the car over to the shoulder before it completely died. The hazard lights wouldn't even worked. My mechanic got it jump started yesterday and was able to drive it and said no engine lights are on, and everything looks fine. He does not think it was the alternator. What this could be?

View 7 RepliesFord Excursion :: Louder Roar Coming From Rear End When Taking Foot Off The Accelerator Without Pressing Brake
After putting my front end back together except new springs, new shocks, and new track bar, just to give everyone a little history of what I've done to it. I've had it for 8 months and maybe put 1000 miles if that because of working out of town a lot and the front end torn apart. I've noticed a louder roar coming from the rear end when taking my foot off the accelerator without pressing the brake. It feels like the tow button is engaged, but isnt. I have no issues with handling besides knowing it still needs alignment. I'm taking it to the dealership tomorrow for a 4 wheel alignment. It sounds and feels like I'm riding on mud terrain tires.

85 ford ranger 2.3 efi .. My brake lights still aren't coming on. According to the Haynes manual, the wire that runs from the stop light fuse goes from there to the hazard flasher and then to the brake light switch. Since I have checked everything else, is it possible that the hazards are causing a break in the connection?

Okay, here's the car

- Swiss cheese stock intake with k&N high flow
- APR stage 1 93 tune.
My boost gauge is currently reading peak of about 15-16 psi. I replaces some vacuum hoses that appeared to be worn, and to no avail. I have no CEL, and no codes thrown at all. This sound like a boost leak.

View 1 RepliesBMW - X3 :: Brake / ABS Lights Coming On And Tap Sound When Turn Off The Car
2006 x3 with 88k on it. I've read that this is a common problem, with the 4 x 4, brake light, and ABS light all coming on and a tap tap tap sound when you turn off the car. Sounds like it's the gear but I am not handy and I don't really feel like going down there and doing this.
The dealer will charge to replace the entire transfer case. Is this a big issue? Sometimes when I drive it feels like I can hear a sound coming from the bottom of the car that sounds like it's about to stall but it never does.
Phaeton :: Brake Lights Have Been Coming On Randomly With Ignition Off
With the car ignition off, the brake lights have been coming on randomly. With the car still off, I have depressed and released the brake pedal and the lights go off. Then about two hours later I will go out to the garage and the brake lights are on! I have driven the car since the first occassion and it happened again. Possibly related or not, the key fab battery is low as I get the quaint "battery empty" warning icon.
I have had my 2006 Phaeton for a year and half now and this is the only problem I have run into in 12,000 miles.
Chevrolet - Silverado1500 :: Two Brake Lights On The Dash Started Coming On Together Randomly
I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado pickup, V8, A/C, 105,000 miles, which drives like a top.
However, about a year ago, the TWO brake lights on the dash started coming on together, randomly. Sometimes the lights came on right after I started the first time, other times, they came on later in a trip after the truck warmed up.
The brakes worked perfectly, as far as I could tell. I took the pickup to the dealer, left it 2 days, and they checked the brakes, belts, tried everything (they said) including trying to get error codes on the computer. Trouble is, the lights had mysteriously gone out and refused to come back on.
A few days later, they came back on for me!! I could turn the truck off, wait a few moments, restart it, and the lights would go off, say, 80% of the time. Only to come back on later. So, I took it to a local Goodyear Tire store (while getting new tires) and they saw the lights, did a diagnosis on a computer, and got NO codes.
Now, I'm worried very much - you see, the brakes on this truck have never been changed! I've had them checked many times, always with the answer that they are still in great shape - last time, they had 30% left! I waited until the lights were ON, and drove all the way to the dealer; parked the truck running; and waited until a technician could come out and do the computer test. NO codes.
Now, I have noticed a possible pattern: when the weather is hot, as it has been most of last year here, the lights come on; when it's cold, as it's been lately, the do NOT come on. Just today, the weather warmed up into the 70s and, zap, the lights came on today.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Blinking Brake Light / Reverse Lights Not Coming On
When I look back into the rear view the top brake light isn't a solid light, it keeps blinking but sometimes it won't blink and just have a solid light. Also, my friend pointed out to me that both of my reverse lights arenot even coming on. I suspect a loose wire somewhere. Where should I look? Or something else?
View 5 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Brake Code C1344 And Warning Lights Keeps Coming Back
I keep getting the C1344 and all the lights. I checked and changed the rear shoes and the light keeps coming back, although not immediately. It takes just a little while.
I didn't notice any signs of leaking fluid, though I was able to squeeze the LH wheel cylinder in pretty easily by squeezing on the top of the shoes. The drums were not scored and were in spec so I didn't turn them. I never cracked any brake lines loose.
