My brake lights would not turn off. They stayed on through out the night and of course my battery was dead in the morning.
I went to 3 auto part stores and they could not locate the part that my Dad pulled out from under my driver's side dash, around the brake area. (the lights would ONLY turn off when this part was disconnected)... the part had FORD written in large letters with the model number: YFIT 13480-AA (POLLAK)... No stores could locate this part. One place told me it was the "Cruise control" switch...?? what?? The same part for other years and models ranged from $7-$14 ... but the piece (they could find that was close enough) for the 2002... was $143?? PLUS it didn't have a picture in their inventory... we couldn't tell if it was even the right piece.
Anyways, it was Sunday, Ford was closed so my options were limited. My dad WD40'd the part and put it back in and it's working for the time being.
I hate Fords. This is only one of MANY issues I have had ranging from having to replace the back hatch glass hinges to completly replacing the entire transmission. what a mistake this purchase was.
