brake light fuse

[rlnunez]

HI ALL!!

I just got my car back from repairs and had the brake light switch, gearshift and brake fuse changed, all because i could not shift out of park when i hit the brake. well after about 5 hours, the darn thing won't shift out of park again, i checked and the fuse went out, i took it back to the mechanice and they said that there was no short in the line, i checked myself and couldn't find one. The next day, the fuse went out again, so i replaced it, and it blew out once the brake was applied. any ideas on how to fix this???

well i finally got it figured out. If you have been listening to the recalls lately about the Ford Trucks and SUV's, the switch that needs to be replaced for the cruse control, is the same thing that shorted out part of my electrical system. And almost cought my car on fire (ya discoved that when i saw smoke come out of my hood). Turns out that its the EXACT same part number as those on the trucks. one more qusetion, if Ford knows that this part is bad on there Trucks why are the not also recalling it on there cars?
