I have i '90 2.3L mustang and the brakes lights ust stopped working. all three of them. I checked the fuses inside of the car on the drivers side, checked the bulbs on the lights and quickly checked the switch on the brake pedal. the fuses are fine and the bulbs are good too. the running lights still work wehn the headlights are on, and the turn signals work as well. I dont have an owners manula so i dont know where any other fuses would be. Does anyone know what might be wrong or anywhere online hati could find a schematic for the eletrical stuff and print out? thanks.

Hey Stang princess the reason ur brake lights died is becuase of a switch called the brake light switch I believe it is activated when you step on ur brakes its kinda difficult to access cause its so cramped easiest way to get at it is take ur driver sear out once that is done get a flash light and look under the dash at the break pedal there will be a wire connect to a little black module that is the brake light switch well u have to remove that by popping out the cotter pin then pulling it off the swivel then unconnecting the switch then go buy a new one not sure how much it will be a I had a couple spare mustangs but yea thats ur problem shouldn't be to hard im sure u'll figure it out u seem like a smart chick is has to be that brake light switch there are no other fuses so that definetly is it guarenteed cause if ur tail lights still work its the switch I had the exact same problem I was telling my self the same **** you are it definetly is the brake light switch! GoodLUCK

Thanks, the switch was actually just loose. i bought a new one anyways in case it come off again. Can anyone recommend a good repair manual to buy? I had a chilton one, but i didnt like it too much. thanks.

This is the ultimate repair manual. This is what's used by the factory trained Ford technicians. It's literally the Bible to your car! A little pricey but will pay for itself a thousand times over. It details every part, nut, bolt and washer in your '90 Mustang.
