What is the part called right above my break pedal that controls my brake light in my 93 lincoln towncar

Possibly still air in the lines.or air in the master cylinder .

Since you only mentioned drive, I'm going to presume you meant you can't shift into any gear, Is this correct? Normally, I would say this isn't an electrical issue, it's mechanical, either something in the shift column or the shift linkage is broken or come loose so I browsed the fuses in my owner's manual and you can check these fuses: fuse #8 (10A) - Shift Lock, Speed Control, fuse #14 (7.5A) - Transmission Control Switch, fuse #10 (20A) - Brake Pedal Position, Brake Pressure Switch. If you can't shift out of Park, turn key just enough to unlock steering wheel (not turn on dash lights) and see if shift lever moves. If so, then shift into Neutral and start car.

Hi Pinar,you have a stoplight switch attached to your brake pedal that operates both brake lights and cruise control,may just be loose,here's a link to what it looks like.Easy to replace if bad.

Check that the brake switch is working or is adjusted right so that when you push on the brake pedal, the car can shift out of park.

easier to junk car and buy a nice diesel manual ,think you will need another gearbox here and all the work involved in changing it on a 93 car?? ,thats worth less than 500euros

check the brake light switch it operates the interlock

yes itcould, also check wires at switch connector

check the fuse for the brake lights. The brake lights and siganl lights use the same bulb filament. The parking and running lights use a dimmer filament in the bulb. There are 2 filaments.
Your brake lights work through the multifunction switch which operates the signal lights. If the signal lights work, you may have a bad brake lamp switch which is on your brake pedal arm.
Let us know what you find.

could be lighting control module $$$$$$$ @400
it's above brake pedal area under dash. 6 x 4" approx.
Do high beams work? Flash to pass work?

if it's the lighting control module, it will provide a fault code when dealer tests it with NGS testor.

Try pulling the brake pedal up with your toe and setting the cruise control while you hold it up with your toe. If it engages, stop holding the brake pedal up. It will either disengage immediately or after you hit a bump. Or if you step on the brake, of course.

There's a brake pedal sensor button on the steering column right where the brake pedal arm intersects it. I put a self]adhesive felt pad (buy at wal-mart, home depot, etc) on the pedal arm where it makes contact with the sensor button. Fixed. Been working fine for a year now.
