rear brake light 86 mercury grand marquis LS

Hi, i have a 1986 Mercury Grand Marquis LS with a 5.0 Liter engine... my rear brake lights wont go off. I've made sure the brake fluid resevior is full, the brake light fuse is good, i've disconnected and reconnected the negative battery terminal, and, i've check the e-brake to ensure it is disengaged, can you help?

That's just a bad brake light switch. You will findd it down at the brake pedal.

Thanks so much for the info and the schematic!! It is really helpful! I have called my local parts place and they say it will cost around $7 for the switch, so i will go and buy one and see if i can't get it installed... once again, thank you very much!!

To add: There is likely still a felt like panel to gain acces with plastic funky screw. If doing this yourself make dang sure it's back on exactly the way you found it. Been while but brake pedal will go lose complety while you replace it. Ford has used that same switch since forever BTW.

My friend has a 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis GS:
Has brought it by the house today complaining that the brake lights don't work. They worked fine while I was looking at them.
But he said the cops told him that they didn't work. And, a couple of friends have been driving behind him and told him that his brake lights aren't working.
Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't work.....huh????
