No turn or brake lights in the back

2012 Ford F-150 5.0l 4x4 170448 miles
I lost brake and turn signal lights in the back. I have running lights and the brake light on the back of the cab works. Fuses good. Can’t find any apparent breaks or rubs in the wiring. I’m stumped...

Same issue i have on 98 f150 4.6 2wd you figure this problem is common and ford should rewire this and make it right for the owners the customer is always right and i know that there is a major issue with electrical shorts in the factory harnesses.

replaced BCM Body Control Module in my friends and had the dealer flash a junkyard unit.
$160 for BCM
$300 for dealer to flash the module as it holds the key codes for the anti theft system.
if you want to know exactly what component failed: it is a "Quad High Side Switch" NXP Part number 10XS3435D.
if you know somebody skilled enough to:
1. Open the BCM
2. desolder the 4 connectors holding the BCM boardstack together.
3. Replace the defective IC (REFDES U20 for right rear blinker/brake light problem or U11 for left rear blinker/brake light problem) with an SMD rework station you can save the $300 Dealer labor for flashing the module.
I am currently repairing the original, I will post my work if successful.

Noticing the ABS and wiper fuses are positioned next to each other, I jet spray a 1/2 can (total) of mass air flow sensor cleaner in each side opening of the fuse box-and I’m doin the happy dance!

Safety horn, brake light and shifter not working

2010 Ford F-150 181000 miles
The brake lights don't come on when I push on the brakes, the horn does not work and the shifter does not want to shift from part. Has anyone had this issue before?
Thanks in advance

Hello I have the same problem, I press the brake pedal the stop lights do not light and impossible to go into drive mode... P-lock, brake sensor at the pedal change and 2 months after that starts again an idea of the problem?
boarddirector from Great Britain 2 years ago
I had the same issue last year with my old baby — at first, I didn’t pay much attention when the horn stopped working, but then on a hot day (+32°C), the gear shifter suddenly got stuck. So please check the brake switch near the pedal first — you can carefully remove it and test it with a multimeter; in my case, it showed no continuity at all. I replaced it myself — the part cost around £22 and took about an hour to fit. The saddest thing was that I was driving to a date with a girl from https://www.tenderbang.com/fuck-tonigh… and needed a car urgently. But it never worked out. The good thing was that I quickly managed to find not only the spare parts, but also the girl.

This circuit is on a separate fuse. I was unable to get a correct fuse diagram(no manual) so I did what I should have done, took it to my mechanic. He is normally booked 2 weeks or more out. So he said to bring it in first thing in morning. He got all the specs on the truck, went in to the office and came out with a diagram. Pulled the fuse replaced it all in about 10 minutes. Best part NO CHARGE! love these guys.

2001 f150 rwd Lariat with no turn, brake, reverse or hazards but have tail lights. Any suggestions?
Been there done that from United States 2 years ago
You are likely dealing with a blown fused link. A fused link is not a fuse,but a solder joint somewhere in the main harness. When a fused link gets overloaded,the solder joint is designed to melt out,thus breaking the connection so you're ride doesn't totally burn up. Since they are not readily visible,they can be time consuming to find. But when you do find it, just replace that section of wiring and it should fix your problem

Both tail lights quit, although brakes, turn, hazards & reverse good

2002 Ford F-150 V8 triton lariat 178000 miles
Power windows would not work after having truck parked for sometime. When i first got it tuned up to get back on the road i noticed power windows didnt work. After checking and changing and adding missing fuses, the power windows worked but the night time running tail lights didn't work. Didnt notice at 1st bc it was daytime. But 1st night drive i found out later than one would like. So turn signals, hazards, brake lights, and reverse lights all work. But not the tail lights. There isnt any fuse directly labeled for this in the cab fuse box or the one under the hood. Anyone know what fuse controls these or could cause these to stop suddenly along with the dash cluster back light illumination stop work after the the first fuse fix to correct the power windows.

If the right side works but the left brake and signal don’t, it’s usually more than just a bulb. On the 2011 F-150, the most common issues are a bad bulb socket, a corroded connector, or a faulty ground wire on that side. Even a small amount of corrosion can stop the brake and signal from getting power. I’d check the socket contacts, clean the ground connection, and inspect the wiring harness for damage https://apkloot.net/ those steps often fix the problem quickly.

When I brake, it's as if the brake gets stuck

2002 Ford F-150 225000 miles
When I'm driving at around over 40mph and I brake quickly, the truck feels as if the brake gets stuck and it moves slow as if I'm stepping on the brake. I have to wait for almost a minute for it to responde again, or put it in parking and change gears for it to move.

A regular said yacine tv for mac https://yacinegeeks.com/yacine-tv-pc/ browser access or simple sideload, then full-screen or cast. He tried it during a UCL game—stream held perfect, HD quality, low delay. Now he uses it for every European night.

No Brake lights (except third), but turnsignals, and running lights wo

2000 Ford F-150 150000 miles
Brake lights do not work, (third above the window does work), Turn signals work and running lights do as well.

Since the third light works I assumed it was not the switch... I checked all fuses and they were all good. I changed all bulbs, just to check and the same results.

Any ideas?
