Faulty brake lights
10 Answers
I was pulled over last night and informed that my brake lights were on all the time. I'm sure (or at least hoping) it may be a simple wiring fault and something I could sort out myself. They come on as soon as the engine starts and stay on. Any ideas?

It was the switch, it is a switch that the pedal keeps open when not being used but if you press the pedal it allows the switch to close. It was a relatively east job to re-adjust the switch which was just in a plastic thread. A bit awkward to get to but not a difficult job.
If you haven't got a manual most libraries stock hayned or somesuch. I imagine all Fords are pretty much alike and it's probably the same for Vauxhalls and others too.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS/............sometimes on rear lights where they are faulty, its the PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD ATTACHED TO THE LAMP UNIT, that has been a cause of thr problem........ this is just an opinion, ESCORT models from 1980-1991, used to suffer from this...for example , even dampness can make the "PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD NEED REPLACING" , get an opinion from some one in the know ......
