Did you use a Ford Motorcraft one or the cheapos from Supercheap? The cheapies are notorious for giving up the ghost much more quickly than the genuine Ford ones, and even they are crap.

Hi. No adjustment but just unplug it and see if the lights go out and if they do take the switch back and get another. Cheers MD

I had a Au come in the other day with the brake lights staying on turned out that the owner changed the switch and didnt put the bushes back in properly.
