Turned out to be brake light switch (to put simply I guess 'over extended'). No need to replace switch with a new one, just a simple case of resetting. Pull switch out of car (located normal spot behind brake pedal), pull piston of switch out 'til it clicks, then push in to check opertaion and reinstall in car. Ford dealer said this is not an uncommon problem with cars from AU onwards - I guess overextending the little piston of the switch binds up the spring internally??? Anyway, was a simple fix for my problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dare Member 7 Member For: 19y 10m 30d Location: Country WA Posted 07/08/07 04:51 AM Share Posted 07/08/07 04:51 AM Yeah, I was without it for about a month 'til it went in for service... little bit hard to keep foot restricited on nice straight roads and long trips.The switch looks el cheapo - plasticy (green and about 3/4 size of matchbox, for your reference), ford cost cutting I guess. If it does it again think I'll replace with older type more robust switch. Pretty simple, hope it works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
