In need of wiring diagram for brake lights for a 2001 F150SC

My two rear brake lights do not work!

My Hazard flashers work!
My Running Lights work!

My bulbs are all good
Checked the Brake pedal Brake switch -- it is good?

The Haynes manual for my '99 has a good wiring schematic in the back.

You might pick up one for your 2001.

I already tried that to no avial -- it didnt have one for my truck -- seemed to cover F150 -F350 in general with no specific schematic for the brake light wiring.

Thanks anyway!

The problem is the MFS (turn signal). Try working the hazard &/or direction switches repeatedly to clean the contacts. The switch CAN be disassembled & cleaned, but it's a nightmare to reassemble.

The good news is that it's easy to replace, and even if the specific one for your year model is expensive, it's electronically identical to '92-96 MFSs, and they're only ~$20 aftermarket. Look thru these pics. Your column is identical.

Thanks for your help! I was able to call upon the assistance of an old High School Buddy that is now a service manager at a GM dealership -- he was able to locate the wiring schematics for me and email them.

I was indeed the MFS -- I ended up taking it apart and found no cause for a problem other than possible oxidation on the contacts so I sanded them down with an emory board and reassembled it .. Turned out to be quite tricky to do but I figured it out.

Reassembled and tested -- works fine now!!

AutoZone quoted me $79.00 for the switch - so it was worth taking it apart to see if I could fix it.
Now lets see how long this repair lasts!

Thanks for your quick responce!
