Brake control light ( switch )
Hi, Has anyone replaced a brake control light on an E450? How difficult? What would I need to do?
Forum Discussion
What light do you mean by the "brake control light" -- the idiot light on the dashboard, or a tail light on the rear of the vehicle, or maybe something else?
I've replaced a taillight on my motorhome. It was about as easy as they get: unscrew the lens, take out the bad bulb, put the new one in, and replace the lens. Obviously how difficult that is depends on what light unit the motorhome builder decided to use.
If it's the idiot light, I suspect it's mostly a matter of how buried it is in the dashboard. You probably could find that out by searching youtube for videos on replacing idiot lights on E series (or even F series) vehicles; the dashboard is not unique to the E450 in any way, but is common among about a zillion vans and trucks, depending on the year. I do know that often (speaking very generally) the idiot light bulbs seem to be about the first part on the assembly line for a vehicle, with the rest of it is assembled around them.
