my hand brake is down however the brake light indicator on the dashboard is still on can any one tell me whats wrong.
Are you effective you pulled the best swap? I surely have a tricky time believing that the brake lighting fixtures fixtures are nevertheless on with it bumped off. Is the middle easy on as nicely? additionally, what you describe isn't a short. a short could blow a fuse. there could be extra advantageous than one activate the pedal- for cruise administration disconnect, shift interlock. Ford continually has extra helpful techniques.
It could be a problem in the hydraulic brake system. Or it could be the little switch, that the brake handle normally trips, has a problem, the tab on them often bends. A Haynes or Chilton book might help, but looking under the e-brake handle will often reveal the problem.
It means that your brake system, not the E-brake has something wrong with it. Most likely it is low on fluid. Check fluid, fill as needed and get it to a mechanic if you are unsure how to fix brakes. The brake system is enclosed meaning it doesn't need periodic filling. There is a problem. It could be anywhere. From the master cylinder to the calipers or wheel cylinders or even a rotting brake line. Believe it or not, they recommend replacing the brake fluid every so often i think every 60k just so moisture doesn't get in and rot the lines. Good luck and get this done quick before you hit someone. :o)
