My 1998 Mark VIII was behaving well until last night when after I started it up, it refused to get out of Park. the button on the shifter would not depress.
A friend noticed that there were no rear brake lights. I fond out that fuse number 32 which controls the brake position switch and the brake pressure switch was blown. Replacing that fuse resulted in it being blown instantly when the brake as depressed.
I disconnected the ballast of the rear taillight, and I was able to get it out of park. No I have brake lights but no parking lights in the rear.
Is it just the rear light ballast that needs to be replaced or is it a bigger problem?
