Could be,
a blown fuse,
burned out bulbs,
bad brake light switch,
or an improperly installed brake light switch.
A Ford Tempo will have no brake lights if the bulb has blown or the wires have come loose. Alternatively, the brake sensor in the dash can fail and stop sending power to the lights.
Check your owner manual for fuse location and description. Probably just a bad fuse.
check the fuses
remove the brake caliper and the rotors come right off
mines dun this it was wen a replaced the rear brake lights it was dogy bulbs put new wans in n it was sorted
Probably a faulty brake light switch or the brake light switch is installed incorrectly.
The Parking Brake could be set (even slightly)
Sounds like you have a problem with your brake light switch under the dash, mounted on your brake pedal metal arm assembly. I know if I get my head down near the brake pedal and push the pedal with my hand I can hear a loud click noise when the brake lights come on. I'm not a mechanic, but I've wondered if the brake fluid level is down in the master cylinder, does the brake pedal drop enough for the brake light switch to turn on the brake lights ?
if turn signals are working , and brake lights not working, i would replace the stop light switch on the brake pedal
u have a short in ur wireing.
If the red " BRAKE " light comes on in your dash , either the parking / emergency brake is on or the BRAKE FLUID LEVEL in the brake master cylinder ( in the engine compartment of a Ford Explorer ) is LOW
It sounds like a problem with your brake light switch that is mounted on the metal arm of your brake pedal under your dash. I'm not a mechanic but I've wondered if the brake fluid level is low in the master cylinder in the engine compartment, does that allow the brake pedal to drop enough to allow the switch to turn on the brake lights ?
