1999 Ranger RABS, 4.0L, Manual Transmission
I replaced the brake light switch, now the brake lights work fine. The problem is that the ABS light comes on when I drive away. I've spent a lot of time trouble shooting and I am quite sure the problem is the switch. Below is a description of how I isolated the brake light switch as the problem.
I detached the wire harness from the new switch and attached it to a second brake light switch that I let hang under the dash. The brake lights obviously don't work with this configuration, but the ABS light does not come on while driving.
Anyone else have problems with the brake pedal switch?
The ABS system on these vehicles is a real PIA.
