More than likely you are having Electrical issues with your 2001 Ford Ranger brake lights. Contact your local service dealer for further information.
u have a short in ur wireing.
if turn signals are working , and brake lights not working, i would replace the stop light switch on the brake pedal
i would dare say u have a dead short or ground problems or wire rubn with brake wire
Stuck brake light switch, or a short to power somewhere in the brake light circuit.
I'm not a mechanic but I would start by checking the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder in your engine compartment
If the brake lights stay on when the car is not running on most vehicles, including the 1994 Dodge Intrepid, there is probably a short somewhere in the wiring to the brake lights. The first place to investigate this problem would be the wires along the firewall that control the brake lights. Also, check the brake light switch above the brake pedal.
I would have to say that would be your pull switch on the dash. I had the same problem on my 88 Ranger, just replace it. I do not remember the cost of part or specific name of part
you're wiring might not be grounded right, then you might have a short in the wires
brake switch ???
fuse, bulbs
bad connection at the bulb, short in the wire or a bare wire. hope it helps. duboff
I would check the running lights for one with a short. I had the same sort of thing with my trailer and I spent way to much time troubleshooting the brake and signal wires. Turns out a running light bulb connector was grounding out on the trailer and messing it all up.
