  Q: How to service and repair the brake light switch on Ford Taurus X?

  A: Service and repairs on the brake light switch start with disconnecting the stoplamp switch electrical connector. The stoplamp switch demonstrates high resistance to removal unless the switch plunger receives a brief backward pressure of 1-4 N [1-3 lb] which the brake pedal applies when depressed slightly. Release the wire before you push the brake pedal while rotating the stoplamp switch clockwise by 45 degrees and removing it. Install the brake pedal assembly without pressing or pulling it because this could harm the stoplamp switch. You should install the switch after rotating it 45 degrees opposite the clock direction according to the pedal setting. Reinstall the electricity connection of the stoplamp switch. Perform another stoplamp removal and installation process while keeping the brake pedal from moving and check the stoplamp operation. Begin engine operation to test that the stoplamps work correctly by pressing the brake pedal multiple times.
