My 2001 Ford Ranger rear safety lights (tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals) will only work when my tilt steering wheel is in the full up right position. I can drive the vehicle in this condition even though it is a little uncomfortable. My wife must place the tilt wheel in a lower position to drive. Since there are no rear safety lights when the steering wheel is in this position she cannot drive the vehicle safely.

Consumer was informed by a neighbor that vehicle had no brake lights. Consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that both brake light and tail light would not come on. Mechanic replaced a fuse.
