I am having trouble with brake lights. Is there a switch on the brake pedal, or is this what the 2 wires on the master cylinder are there for?

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Recently the brake lights do not work. Brakes work fine. Have looked under the dash to see if there is a switch around the brake pedal, didn't see one. There are 2 wires on the master cylinder. Do these connect to the brake lights and contact when fluid is released?

I believe there will be a stop light switch mounted near where the brake pedal enters the firewall inside the vehicle. I could be wrong, but your wires to the master cylinder MAY be to a low fluid level indicator. Again, I could be wrong.

Is there a door-opened switch for interior lights on the '99 Mustang? 2 Answers

The interior lights will not shut off. Have checked the switches on the mirror (Convertible Mustang), but don't see a plunger-style switch in the door frame.

Does anyone know how to work the air controls on a 1966 mustang? I'm sure this is a standard Ford part.I'm not even sure what they're called, fan / air conditioning / force blown air, etc.. My 1966 mustang came with A/C standard. In the dash there are chrome controls for the air. One lever is horizontal and has about 5 notches that it clicks into place. It slides from left to right and back. Have no idea what that does. Directly underneath are three vertical levers.. The first one is labeled HEAT. I can't figure out if it being in the up position is turning the heat on or off. Next to that is TEMP. Next to that is a blank one. All three slide up and down. Does anyone have any idea how these work? I'm trying to get the heat to work and am freezing my a** off, as it seems to be blowing A/C. 6 Answers

I'm trying to fix the heater in my 1966 Ford Mustang, and I read in an answer on here concerning the switches for the heater "Also all 3 of those control levers are hooked to cables. Look under the dash and check to make sure those cables are connected and not broken. Sometimes they stiffen up and break." If one of these (the one reading "heat") were broken, would it stop the heater from starting even though all the other parts are working? And if so, what solution is there to reaffix the switch to its respective cable? 1 Answer
