  Q: How to Service the Brake Light Switch on Ford Freestyle?

  A: Service of the stoplamp switch begins with disconnecting its electrical connector. Removal of the stoplamp switch requires down pressure on the brake pedal plunger before rotating it 45 degrees clockwise until it can be removed. Wear and damage to the switch will occur if you apply force to or touch the brake pedal assembly while installing the switch. The stoplamp switch installation requires mounting it in a 45 degree counterclockwise rotation after reconnecting the electrical connector to the frame. A correct operation of stoplamps requires repeating the installation steps while you make sure the brake pedal stays in its position. To verify correct stoplamp operation you should begin the vehicle engine while performing several brake pedal applications.
