Help - 1990 F150 brake lights

This guys videos are great for learning. Watching this helped me understand why the brake lights run through the turn signal switch.

Dielectric cleaner and grease are your friends in that steering column.

I think so too. It’s working now but not well. I ordered a whole new complete switch. Going to do that when it’s warmer. I also need to redo the steering wheel bearing/bushing but that’ll have to be later.

Best way to fix it? Replace the truck with a Chevy.

Sorry, I just had to.....

I would rather have intermediate signal issues than saggy 800lb doors...

If you have a Tilt steering wheel you my need a special puller for side pins on steering solemn if your year has them.

I think my truck is so old that it doesn’t have them. I’ve pulled the wheel and mostly pulled the switch out to replace just the cam. Also watched a ton of videos on it. Thank you for the advice though. I’ll post pics when I swap the whole switch.
