hi all,
ford e-250
start up, wont shift, abs lightsa' flashin'.
before i start i can unlock steering and shift into nuetral, start, then go into drive, abs lightsa' flashin'.
no break lights..
checked my break light switch with a ohm meter.. seems fine..
4 volts are going to it.. bridged the plug to the switch, no luck....
this has gotta be easy for guys......

I would check to find out how many volts are suppose to go to the switch. 4 volts seems low. My car (different make) has 12 volts going to the brake light switch.

Corroded brake light fuse or connector. Find the FUSE, measure voltage on both sides, if 12V or more, problem is elsewhere. If under 12V on BOTH sides of fuse, problem is in power supply TO fuse block. If lower on one side than other, problem is corroded fuse/terminals.

You CAN run a new wire from battery to brake switch, just make SURE you fuse it.
