| Description of the problem | i was told by a co-worker that i had a left brake light out. I checked and found that not only was the brake light out so was the lamp or running light out on the left side. On the right side the brake light worked properly during the day but at night with the running lights on the light shown with brake light brightness even though brake was not depressed. When the brake was pressed the light didn't change any brighter. I called the dealer and they confirmed that both lights would need to be changed. If i changed them myself it would cost $406. 00 for the left led module and $412. 00 for the right module. If they changed them add another $95. 00. I contacted ford asking for financial help with this problem but received none. This repair in the past using two 1157 light bulbs would have been under $10. 00. I have not replace led lamp/ brake modules at this time. I will continue to save for these items. |
