You don't take it to the dealer you will live longer.

There should be a brake light switch under the dashboard, right around the brake pedal. It should be pretty straightforward to remove it and replace it with a new one.

On the side of your transmission will be a switch with several wires coming out of it. This is your reverse switch that turns on your reverse lights and most likely needs to be replaced

most you can find if you follow cable from e-brake to rear brakes ,along the way you'll find adjuster, hope this helps ,good luck

No the light on your dash comes on when the coolant sensor is activated. I would look at replacing the coolant temp sensor or somthing similar.

The pads are hung on the outer ridge on the rotors,
because you don't take them apart once a year and
knock down the ridge,clean off all rust,inspect and
lube things

Use a wide screw driver or small pry bar between
the old pad and rotor to compress the piston

I think you could make it home, but to be on the safe side. FIRST check the normal breaking while just starting to move to make sure your brakes function normally. You your brake system may be overheated and needs to cool down for a few minutes.The ABS (Anti-Lock Braking) system is a unit that rapidly pumps the brakes with a rapid pulse. That function is now absent and you most likely now have regular functioning brakes with no ABS. IN A SAFE AREA start very slowly in low gear and push on the brakes to see how the vehicle stops. If that is good. Try it again at higher speed. You will immediately know if your Brakes are working. If so, drive home. NOTE: There is a back up brake system in all cars that works but requires a lot of pressure applied to the brakes. That is there as a safety measure.
It's most likely you DO NOT have ABS. It appears as though the switch that turns on the ABS automatically in a short stop Stayed on. This would have made the pulsing ABS unit motor continue to work until it:
a) burned out. or
b) burned out the fuse wire that leads to it.So, in effect, it was pulsing your brakes whether you needed it or not.
The smell was likely your brakes being over used.
Get this checked out immediately. I just did a quick search and there has been a massive Ford Recall concerning ABS systems for many of the Ford Vehicles including the E-150s
I hope this helps,
Best Regards,

This sounds like a sticking Thermostat. If your Temperature gauge on the dash indicates that the motor is still cold when it has run awhile and you have poor heat, its the Thermostat. It should be beneath the housing for the big top radiator hose. Observe the direction the old part was laying in and replace it with a new part facing the same direction.

You will need to replace the "O" ring or gasket under the fixture. You may lose a little Antifreeze and it will work much better to work on a COLD engine. When finished just start the engine and only add extra Antifreeze to the overflow plastic tank.

If after a day you still have problems, you will need to investigate further. Use the reply feature and eventually an Email will show up on this end.

a mechanical gov can use springs or fly weights to control the amount of fuel delivered at a given rpm. an electronic does basically the same thing but with the use of speed sencers and cervos that can control fuel, spark, and timeing. the first is a straight forward approach and has worked well over the years. but the secound is more precise and adjustable withe the stroke of a key board. as to which is better, that depends on the application. mechanical works off engine rpms and takes abuse well but can only regulate speed useing rpms so if you have more gears the faster you can go. where as the electronic uses speed sencors that pull info from the trans or wheels and will only let you do the speed set by the computer

check the module located on the side of the distributor. I have had that problem and that was the ticket. Fords are common for that sort of failure.

read the fuse schematic. If you have a 12 volt test light you can test a fuse
