Brake lights staying on June 27, 2021, 06:32:11 pm I can jiggle the brake pedal and they go off. Since this is a new rig I'm wondering if it will loosen up and stop doing this over time or should I should find a shop for warranty service?

That probably tells you what era I grew up in but that's the way it once was.Try looking for a switch, it may be loose or broken. 1 Likes

We haven't towed in weeks. She has observed the lights working fine this whole time. It was only when I parked at our current campsite that they stuck on. Jiggling the brake pedal and they go off tells me it's most likely a "sticky" switch. I'm going to investigate closer today. 2 Likes
Re: Brake lights staying on Reply #5 – June 30, 2021, 02:20:56 pm I found the switch. If this issue persists I'll give it a spray of electrical cleaner/lubricant or take it to a Ford dealer. 2 Likes
