The brake switch is 1/2 way up the brake pedal arm where the rod that goes through the firewall is connected. There is a plastic switch wired into the electrical system that detects when the brake pedal is pushed. My brakes lights (all three) stopped working recently and it wasn't a fuse; if I jiggle the switch by reaching my hand under the dash and pulling on the switch, the brake lights will come up, but the switch is not working when brake pedal is depressed. I should have paid more attention when I removed the switch because it took me 30 minutes in a contorted position to figure out the correct way to reinstall it. I guess I'm off to Ford to by a replacement....
