Brake lights stuck on and only right turn signal works

Asked by Jerome May 27, 2018 at 03:04 AM about the 1994 Ford Mustang GT Convertible RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The brake lights on my 94 mustang GT are stuck on
I had a problem with my convertible switch so I
started with the e-brake switch I grounded the e-
brake switch to the body didn't solve the problem so
I put everything back together only to find out the
brake lights were stuck on. Took everything back
apart grounded the wire again right brake light went
out but left stayed on put the switch back on e-
brake all 3 brake lights stay on and the left turn
signal doesn't work which was the brake light that
stayed on. Could it be a faulty pedal switch or a
short

1 Answer

Ok I tested the brake switch and have power going in and going out with the plug unplugged and plugged in, I disconnected the taillight harness under the driver's side tailight and third brake light isn't on and works with the brake pedal. When I plug the tailight harness back in all 3 brake lights stay on and does not work with the pedal, does anybody have an idea on where I should start looking for the short. Should I start under the dash or in the trunk where the third brake light comes off the harness any help would be appreciated.
