2002 Mountaineer Brake Light Fuse??

[mmorton]

I need to check my brake light fuse but even after going line by line through the diagram in my manual I can't seem to find which fuse it is. Anyone know?

Welcome to the forum!

Do the turn signals work, just not the brake lights? The turn signals in the rear use the same bulbs as the brake lights, so if they work, you at least know the bulbs are fine.

The brake lights, including the Center High Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL) are powered through the brake pedal switch by 15-amp fuse F2.23 in the Central Junction Box. In the case of the "main" brake lights, the signal from fuse F2.23 also travels through the Multi-Function Switch. If the CHMSL is working but not the brake lights, you might try cycling the hazard/4-way flasher switch a few times to see if that gets things working again.

The turn signals are powered by 15-amp fuse F2.5, also in the Central Junction Box.
