I HAVE A 92 LINCOLN TOWNCAR EXECUTIVE SERIES AND I NOTICED YESTERDAY THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THE ONLY TIME THEY WORK IS WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN. WHAT CAN THE PROBLEM BE AND WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO FIX IT!! HELP

I had that same problem with my Lincoln. It seems to be a common thing. You need a brake switch that is located on the back of your brake pedal. Have a good day!

Hello again Lockwood. Would be glad to help ya on this one. There is a plug to unplug off the switch and some sort of mounting device, like a cotter pin, to take off. Word of advice be careful not to break the cotter pin. Hope this helps! Have a good one!

Hi Lockwood, not sure if you have touched the wiring yet. But you will have to detach the wiring from it. You might want to get a new switch before you do it though. That way you can remember what wire attaches to the brake switch. Sorry didn't get back until now. Been a little busy lately. Hope this helps ya.
