01txr Member 861 Member For: 18y 3m 9d Gender: Male Location: QLD Posted 22/04/16 04:40 AM Share Posted 22/04/16 04:40 AM I have a 2008 FG XR6 sedan 6spd auto. 178000k's Keep getting dash warning popping up when im moderating the brakes eg light tap followed by another straight away sets it off. I've used a dignostic tool and it says no fault history or current? Everything seems to work as if nothing is wrong. Just keep getting the annoying warnings. Any ideas where to start finding issue or known problems please let me know.

I suspected it might be the brake switch as it was having start issues as well and I also noticed it was speeding up on down hill decents whilst on cruise. I had wife check brake lights and nothing. I then had problems where it would not start, depressed brake pedal numerous times, jabbed the brake hard a few times, locked and unlocked car by remote, pulled handbrake on and off, shifted the gearshift through all selections all numerous times. Still nothing. Pulled brake switch out, tried manually to operate switch whilst trying to start. Still nothing. Put switch back in. Tried a few more times. Sat for a few minutes pissed off thinking how much a tow was going to cost. Tried it again, on about tenth turn of key it cranked. Got home, turned it off, tried to start again, nothing. In the morning I removed the switch, looked it to try to disassemble it but you'd have to near destroy it to do so. I then smacked on door kick panel a few times. Put back in, and not one issue today at all. I'd already order a new genuine ford switch on ebay on friday $28. Arrives by the 4th of May. I'll keep it in glovebox for if this one plays up again. Hope this helps anyone else who has this issue.

I had the same issue either it can be faulty or just need a re-adjustment.

Purchased from Ford dealer on ebay. Was suppose to be here by the 4th. Its played up a few times since the last time on here. Unplug, tap it on the door sill and all good again. So quite certain its the problem. @Jeturbo, no its not tuned its complete factory original.
