Good Day and Happy Holidays. I have a 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis, Our brake lights don't work. I was told that it is the Brake Light Switch, I don't know where this is nor how to remove it. I have already purchased one just need some help to locate it, remove it and replace it. I must share that my husband is 77 years young so please make it simple. Respectfully Mrs. Armstrong

SOURCE: no brake lights

Sounds like it has a bad brake lamp switch. It's possible that if you have a third brake lamp and that works, but the others don't, it is a bad multifunction switch. The brake switch is located on the brake pedal. The multifunction switch incorporates your turn signal/ hazard/ high beam lever mounted on the steering column. As confusing as this sounds, I hope this helps.

SOURCE: turn signals dont work brake lights dont work

You didn't mention your rear brake lights. If they don't work either then you probably have a bad light control module (LCM). This is a common problem with big Fords. You can buy a replacement part ($250) or have yours rebuilt (www.autoecu.com). The module is located under the dash to the right of the steering column and is fairly easy to replace.
Do the turn signals work? If not it may be the turn signal switch. The aftermarket parts are cheaper than a Ford factory part; check the guarantee before deciding.
Worse case scenario? You need both parts.

SOURCE: 1998 Mystique brake lights don't work while the window brake light does work.

Try a continuity test, not sure where to find the electrical scheme but if you obtain it, use a tester or borrow one to test the continuity of the wires of both taillights, could be simple as a cut wire.

SOURCE: The brake light comes on, on the dash. Brakes work

Make sure your emergency brake pedal is all the way up, because sometimes if it goes down one notch, that can trigger that light to come on..It wont be enough to drag or slow the sar down, but it will be enough to turn that light on...Also even though your brakes are good..double check your break fluid level...

I have a 2005 Mercury Marquis but the brake lights won't go on. I have turn signals, but no brake lights. I don't think it is a fuse.

look under by your brake pedal, there is a switch that has two wires to it, make sure plug has not been knocked off, if it is intact, check to see that one of the two wires have power,
if you have power, fuses are ok, jump the two wires and check to see if your brake light are on!
if they now work, you need a brake switch,
if you do not have power then you need to check your fuses..

i have seen many times that the connector gets bumped and makes a poor connection

good luck and hope this helps

Brake lights not working change fuses,

There should be a switch under the brake pedal. This should opearate the brake lights. It is also not impossible for both the brakelight lightbulbs to blow at the same time.

Sometimes a trunklid slamming can break the filaments. Check the switch under the brake pedal first and remember to look at the backwindow light to see if it is working. The brake pedal switch is simple to install. The rear window light may work if the tailight wires are unplugged.

Cruise Control - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis LS - not working

Your manual should tell you that. Also check your brake light switch by the brake pedal. It also disengages the cruise. If it is bad the cruise will not work but the brake lights may still work.

I have a 1998 Grand Marquis and the brake lights and the turn signals stopped working. I checked the fuses and they look ok. Any suggestions??

I have a 93 4-door grandmarquis and everything works but the brakelights.
I was told that the gear shift is possably tied into this because the gear shift is loose.Is that true?
And what do you suspect is the reason the brake lights dont work?
