What would cause my brake lights, tail lights and my rear turn signals to stop working on my 1998 Ford F150 XL pick up truck. Also my ABS light came on and my gas guage went from 1/4 tank to Full tank

I installed new headlights prior to this problem occurring. After I was finished, I noticed my front turn signals were blinking really fast. I since then replaced the turn signal flasher and they now blink normal but still no rear turn signals, brake lights or tail lights and my ABS light came on and my gas gauge is reading incorrectly.

I have a 98 f150 xlt. My left rear turn signal and brake light has stopped working but the running lights work on the same bulb. Ive replaced the bulb nothing, replaced the socket and nothing, even checked...

Have you checked the socket to see if 12 volts is reaching the socket for brake light citcuit? Probe the wires with a 12 volt test light probe (avail from any parts store for about $6)

Hi I have a 1989 F150 and none of the brake lights work. I checked the fuse, the brake peddle switch. Oh and the emergency flashers only work in the front.

SOUND LIKE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH COULD BE BAD.SOME CARS BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT SHARES THE REAR PORTION OF THE TURN SIGNAL CIRCUIT.

1999 f150 turn signals and brake lights out. High mast still work

The signal lights work through a relay but the brake lights work through the signal switch, if both are out I think you'll find the problem is the signal switch.
