Fusion Hybrid Brake Light Switch Issue

Experiencing an issue with my 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid. I'm getting an error message and the brake lights aren't working. Scan showed a possible fault with the brake light switch around 77000 km. Anyone seen this, or could it be something I'm doing wrong?

Sounds like a malfunctioning brake light switch, especially with the error message and brake light failure. These switches can be sensitive and trigger if the brake pedal isn't fully returning. Check for anything blocking the pedal. What was the exact error code? That would help confirm.

I checked the brake pedal area and found nothing blocking it. I don't remember the error code. Would the error code tell us more about the brake light switch?

The error code would give us a more precise confirmation. But if you've checked for obstructions, the switch itself is likely the problem. While some might replace it themselves, given the brake system's importance, I'd recommend a workshop. A faulty switch could also cause issues starting the car or shifting out of park.

Understood. I appreciate the explanation and advice to get professional help. Turns out it was a user error, and the repair cost 0€. Thanks again!
