I started the day troubleshooting my speedometer and discovered that it works. I had transmission work done a few months back, including the transmission to transfer case gasket (or seal). That must be when it started working. I rarely drive the truck on the road, since it isn't registered.
I reinstalled the driver's side body mount access plate, reinstalled the floor mounted high beam switch and cleaned the connection at the oil pressure sending unit.
I need a new oil pressure sending unit, a new power steering sensor and light bulbs for the back up lights and tag light. Almost road legal. I also installed a new EVR solenoid yesterday, so now my EGR valve works properly.

I'm trying to figure out the third brake light on my 1991 F250. Apparently the brake light assembly itself keeps dangling after I drive the truck a certain amount of miles. I have tried M10 screws that fit through the brake light assembly, but the screw doesn't stay in the holes.

does the light your referring too for my 92 F 250 also acts as a brake light ? I ask because the light is all white as for illumination when you turn on the inside lights

My 01/92 does not have a third brake light in the cab.



Vacuumed and washed the 88. Need to install fresh starter and see if lights off!

In my experience, the 3rd brake light assembly is usually on the outside of the cab above the rear window, not inside the cab.

my apologies I did didn’t make it clear. The light I’m referring to is in the back of the cab on the outside of the truck bed and above the rear window were a normal third brake light of truck’s are located. My light is all white I don’t think it lights up red when I hit the brakes. I don’t think the 92 F250 had that option in that year so that was my question

My 93 also doesn't. The third brake light was required in 1994 and ford had to add it.

That light as mentioned above, is just for lighting up the bed at night if you turn on your dome light.

Does it not also illuminate the bed with either door open? I do not recall. Mind leans yes.

Actually, it probably does now that you mention it.

ok, that makes sense. Been thinking of adding a third brake light and I think the easiest way to do it is to do it between the tailgate and the bumper if there’s room like the on my 99 F350 that I once owned

There is one that fits in the hitch. Runs about $10 and plugs into a four pin connector. I have them on my early trucks.

Getting ready for state inspection

I put an idle air control valve on, a power steering sensor, an oil pressure switch, a back up light bulb, a license plate bulb, a gas tank strap bolt and adjusted the spring clip in the head light switch ****, so it stays on the stem. I think all that's left is one back up light bulb and a new windshield.
