at the top of the break pedal its a little black plastic box with wires in it.
It's at the top of the brake pedal lever, near connector to the vacuum booster.
Possibly the brake light switch is bad. I had a recall on a Ford Taurus that spoke of this problem. The brake light switch releases a solenoid that holds the shifter in park.
Attached to the break pedal arm. Looks like a plunger like thing.
If you mean the red " BRAKE " light in your dash is on , that means that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder located in your engine compartment ( on a Ford Taurus ) is LOW ( or that the parking brake is on )
brake light switch is above the brake pedal
Could be a short in the brake light switch or a bad bulb.Try removing all of the tail light/brake light bulbs and step on the brake pedal to see if the fuse still blows.If it does it is a brake light switch problem or a short in the wire harness.If not it's a bad bulb.
Go to the parts desk of your local ford dealership and ask for a printout of the brake light switch.
