Parking brake light
My parking brake light stats on after I release the parking brake. Where is the sensor for it? Thanks for help in advance

Everything should be fine. But when I push my parking brake pedal then release it the light stays on and if I play with it for a little bit sometimes I can get it to come off.

Re: Parking brake light
In the mid 90's, Ford located the switch for the parking brake on reminder light on the parking brake assembly itself. Even though that assembly got revised at least once along the way, I'd bet it's there on yours. Go look at the assembly for a switch that is MOL a plunger, spring, a contact and a bracket/housing, and IIRC it's riveted to the assy and can be moved around. Look for the wire on the assy, it's pretty obvious. Once you find it, check the orientation of and the rigidity of the mounting on the switch.
