Rear Brake lights constantly on!!!
I just noticed a few days ago, that when i turn the key to the on position but not started, the brake lights come on and stay on until i turn the key to off. I checked the fuses, swapped the brake switch above the brake pedal. Then i unplugged the brake switch turned the key to on, and the brakes still light up. Has anyone had this problem. It sounds to me like a short somewhere.

My car is ****ed with wires...

1. viper alarm and wires spliced to other unknown wires (alarm doesnt work nor do i have the pad)
2. wierd gizmos and gadgets that i cant figure what they are...
3. wires going nowhere... they were cut and just end... Wire harness plugs that dont plug into anything
4. non workin cig lighters (i cant charge my cell phone)
5. a shorted wire (dont know where it is) which drains my batt in 2 weeks time

well, that made my day. Now i see that my wiring problem isn't as bad as others. That sounds like a wiring nightmare.
Are you going to get a good/used wiring harness or try to redo some of them?
I might have to cut and re-run the brake wiring so i don't have to run the wires down. and i know how some ford wires are, it starts out black with red stripe and it goes into a wire bundle and then when you look after the bundle, there is no black with red stripe, it change colors and you have to find the new color.
