SOURCE: Brake light, reverse light and turn signal issues

Hello. The symptoms you are describing are likely due to a poor ground. Temporarily install a new ground wire by securing a piece of copper wire to the frame with a self tapping screw. Use this ground wire along with the hot wire to see if each of these lights works. If it does, trace the ground wire back to the frame, unscrew it and clean up the metal with emery cloth so you reestablish a good ground.

SOURCE: gas gage light out

well iwould say that if not update software programing for this problem like some other cars. you are going to have to remove some dash trim to gain access to i/p cluster retaining screws,remove screws then cluster, some clusters have serviceable backlighting bulbs & some you would have to take apart to de-solder where the bulb is located behind the gas gauge and try to find one someware. most clusters know a days are not technician serviceable unless you are a special technician. just send out for repair reinstall,reprogram with latest software, and current milage. done deal.

Replace the gage cluster you should be able to find a cheap one on craigslist or ebay if not the salvage yard should have one.

Our brake lights tail lights and the turn signals on the mirrors and the gas guage work sometimes and sometimes they don't . Headlights and turn signals in front work all the time .

All of these devices run through a computer control module generally referred to as the GEM (Generic Electronic Module) module, you need the dealer to test this control module with a special scan tool.

Having two problems, wont start in park, have to put into neutral to start, also no brake lights, fuses are fine. Help please. 2001 ford windstar

Look at the top of your Brake pedal for a switch. It needs to send a signal for the brake lights and the release of the gearshift/starter solenoid lockout.

Drivers feet often move or break this switch and a good indication the problem is there is having no brake lights.

It is a bit odd that you can move the gearshift at all without the signal from the brake switch. The idea of having these extra parts is to prevent the van from starting without your foot on the brake or getting out of Park without your foot on the brake.

So you may have to fix more than just the brake switch. There may be a misalignment or broken part on the shifter lockout.

2001 Explorer Sport ,Rear Driver Brake Light and Turn Sig. Broke

Rear lights are double filament bulbs one side for the lights other side for the brake/turn signals so it still may be a bulb. Do u have a test light or volt meter you can check to make sure u have power there when brakes or turn signals are activated. Or just try another bulb.
