Check your brake light switch ( under dash..activated by brake pedal/arm )...should be the prob..

anybody know where to get a good digram of this brake light switch........ and thanks alot

 

[the on going reality of shopower]

It is on the pedal not hard to see. Look for wires around the pedal

Sounds like you have a leaking cruise deactivator switch mounted on the brake master cylinder.

I have no idea if this will help, but i have big feet and on my 89 every once and a while i woudl step on a wire when hitting the brakes, and the wires would snap, causeing all break lights to shut off..... That was just my problem sorry i offer no further help GL

I have a 93 atx..have had the same problem took it to the transmission shop to have the tranny looked at they replaced that cable without even asking me wasnt the problem.Took it to ford they said they think its a bad wire. im hoping its the switch or a fuse..for now keepin her in neutral

This is a common problem on the ATX's and can almost always be attributed to the cruise switch mentioned above. To verify if this is your problem, pull out the harness from the cruise control module and check to see if it's melted and/ or wet.

where exactly is the module does it look like a black box? near the tb

Ya start simple. Check the fuse, the brake light switch. Lots of ppl like to start with the biggest and hardest stuff first.

More than likely, its simple.
