- Here is one to chew on. My brother drives a 1998 Ford Explorer. He brought it over complaining that the brake lights didn't work. The bulbs were OK, the parking light part of the dual filament bulbs

- I would agree with Mark. Use a volt meter to check for "juice" at every step along the line. Start at the bulb socket and work your way backwards. If you should find that you're getting juice at the

- The brake light on my Lumina (I know it's not a Ford product) did exactly the same thing. After doing some research, it turned out to be the turn signal switch. I have no idea why it was routed ther

- Funny you mention that - 3 wires (power, ground, & data) is a LOT easier to troubleshoot than some of the rats nests we've had over the years. Coming from an IT support perspective I would LOVE to on
