On the brake pedal.
On the brake pedal assembly.
This is usually cause by a stuck brake light switch on the brake pedal. Replace it.
If the brake lights stay on that probably means the switch on the brake pedal that activates them is defective.
Stop light switches are mounted on the brake pedal lever, typically.
The 1995 Mercury Villager turn signal relay switch is located beneath the drivers side dashboard. The turn signal relay switch will be left of the brake pedal.
"Stuck" brake lights indicate that the brake light switch on the brake pedal is broken. It should be replaced.
There is a switch down at the brake pedal, It's most likely bad. This is true. There is a switch under the brake pedal that probably needs to be adjusted or replaced. I have this same problem in my 1998 mercury villager. I have not replaced or adjusted the switch...not sure the cost or how hard it is to do. However, I have found that once you are in park, if the brake lights do not go off, I press down hard on the brake pedal and the lights go off.
Your brake light switch under your pedal is brobaly stuck
Look under the dash where the brake pedal is located. You have to go upside down and head first to get a good view. Follow the the brake pedal arm, find the pressure switch. The brake light is off when brake pedal is not engage, pressing on the switch. When you depress on the brake, it releases the pressure and the brake light comes on. You can adjust the switch to move it closer or farther from the brake pedal arm. On the brake pedal arm there is a plastic contact point which sometimes cracks or breaks off. I used a "license plate" decorative plastic screw cover as the contact point to press on the switch. It was cheap and comes as a pair so you have another one in case the same thing happens in the future.
It is above the brake pedal not under it. Follow the brake pedal bracket all the way up and you will see the brake pedal switch.
A 1997 Villager has a red button behind the driver side kick panel next to parking brake pedal. I found it by going to Ford.com/parts down loaded the owners manual. If you don't have the owners manual thy this.
