2002 Ford Windstar: Brake Warning Light ON dash?

The Brake warning light Came ON dash.Rear brake lights not turning off and Cruise control not operating.

But this Light got OFF after replacing the Brake light switch.


If the Brake warning light on the dash is now OFF after the replacement of the Brake Light Switch, then the switch was the problem that was setting the light. This switch is monitored by the brake system, and when faulty will set the light (and also keep the rear brake lights on, and make cruise control inoperative). As long as there are no current lights on the dash, the ABS system is fine. When there is an ABS problem, you will get an ABS wanring light along with the Brake warning light.

More than likely the switch was the culprit. Just to make sure, give the brake fluid level a quick check and make sure it's full. If the Brake light returns without an accompanying ABS Light, then the ABS system is not the fault, and other things should be inspected like the brake fluid level sensor and/or the emergency brake switch.

This details will help.
Thanks.

How to replace Parking, turn, and Brake Lights on car?

You suspect the bulb is burned out, but how do you get at it?

First, make sure you buy the right bulbs for your socket. Using the wrong bulb can damage your wiring. Take the old bulb out and make sure it looks like the right one (fits and has contacts that align with the contacts in the socket). You can always have the parts store look up your car and tell you which bulbs to buy.

2. Parking, turn, and Brake Lights:
Sockets for these lights usually come out with a simple twist--the trouble usually somes in getting to the socket. The front lights may be accessed from the engine compartment. If not, try reaching them from under the car. You may need to remove a splash panel or a wheel well shield to get at them. Once you have the socket/bulb out of the lens, the bulb comes out of the socket either with a twist or by pulling straight out.
The rear lights are usually accessible from the inside. If not, such as in the case of a pick-up truck, they will have screws on the outside of the lens so you can remove the whole lens. Otherwise, from the inside, pull back or remove whatever is covering the sockets. In some cases, there are just butterfly nuts or screws holding the lens with no way to access the bulb from inside. In these cases, you have to remove the lens to get at the socket. Once you have the socket/bulb out of the lens, the bulb comes out of the socket either with a twist or by pulling straight out.
If the car has separate backup lenses or fog lights, they may be mounted in the bumper, and some are sealed beams; but there are too many variations to cover here.
The license plate light is usually held in by screws or tabs on the cover similar to courtesy lamps.
