Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the brake light switch on this 2005 Ford F150. It's the same part and similar process on these F150s from 2004 to 2008. The items you'll need for this are a new brake light switch from 1AAuto.com and a pair of needle nose pliers.

Down underneath your dash, up by the brake pedal, you'll see this neon green clip. Just push on the tab with your needle nose pliers until it pops out. Then pull that clip off. Then you'll see this neon green cotter pin; just pull that out. Then you just pull this bar from the brake pedal and then pull the switch off. Push the tab on the harness and disconnect it.

Up top is the old brake light switch. Below it is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Reconnect your new brake light switch and then there's a bushing that goes in the master cylinder activating bar. Make sure that's in there. It felt out when we took ours apart. Put that onto the brake pedal rod just so it's flush with the end, and then the u-shaped part of the switch slides up on the inside until . you've got to push it up there with a little bit of force . until the hole lines up. Once the hole lines up you can push that onto the pedal the rest of the way. Now reinstall your safety clip and then the little safety locking shroud. Just press the pedal and you should see your brake lights light up.
