    Thanks! This was the exact solution I needed for my 2015 Fusion Titanium. Dealerships around here are so busy they're scheduling service appointments almost a month away so this was truly blessing for me. In addition to potentially draining my battery I was also unable to maintain speed higher than 45 mph once in overdrive. Major inconvenience. Local parts store code finder device identified a brake pedal position sensor code. They didn't have anything in their database specifically for that. I came home & found your video by chance searching Fusion brake light. Amazing!!! Thanks again!

      Yessir no problem glad I could help. And that’s another reason why I jus do all my car maintenance or whatever needs to be replaced myself because dealerships are always backed up and sometimes you can’t even trust them.

    This was happening to my friends car, brake light remaining on.
    Watched your video and it was VERY helpful and easy to watch, there was enough viewing to see what needed to be done, great job. I changed it out...with in a few minutes!! Sad part about that switch going out, people think you are riding your brakes or can't tell when you are slowing down. Appreciate the video!!

    If your car wont accelerate over 20 or 40mph and all the back lights are lit up the brake light switch should fix it.

      This is EXACTLY what is happening to my car and is the reason I came to youtube. My car won't accelerate past 40. And my brake lights are light up. I'm waiting for auto zone to open tomorrow. Not really sure how to change the switch though but hopefully this does the trick

    Also remember this is apart of a set of open recalls for the Fusion line so the dealership should be able to do this for free but if your dealership is anything like mine that could anywhere from two weeks to a month out and I don’t have that time to wait😂

    The new switch won't work until it is properly installed. Installation releases the switch plunger. You can't test the new switch without installing it.

    • @_exotic_aj
      @_exotic_aj  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s more than likely the switch like on mine in the video and it’s jus draining the battery because the lights stay on when the car is off. Now idk why it’s going into limp mode, do you have a check engine light on?

      My car (2015 Ford Fusion Titanium) had the same issues as yours. My car would not accelerate properly, engine sounded fine but it would drop rpms any time I would get up to around 35-45 miles an hour. The brake lights wouldn’t cut off and I got the hill start aid unavailable message too. Come to find out it’s the brake light switch. When it shorts out or goes bad it sends voltage to the ECM which in turn causes the “limp” mode; all of this occurring without fault codes. Super thankful for this video on replacing it as it saved me a major headache!!

    Hi I like the video, just a question what are the causes of this failure

    • @_exotic_aj
      @_exotic_aj  ปีที่แล้ว

      Well it was basically a recall so it’s mainly just on Ford part of not making a good built quality brake switch. So it can happen whenever you press you brake the switch will jus get stuck and it will keep the lights on and sometimes it will tend to actually use the brakes which will mess up your acceleration
