Hi.

I have a 2002 ford focus SE (61K).  A few weeks ago I could not get my
car into drive- the gear shift was stuck in park since the brake
lights would not go on.  Brought it into the dealer and they repaired
the brake light switch.  Worked fine for about 10 days and then the
fuse to the brake lights blew.  I replaced the fuse and then 2 days
later it blew again.  Any thoughts or suggestions?  The dealership
said they would have to go through and check all of the connections to
figure out the problem since they seem to have no clue from looking at
it- they replaced the fuse the first time it blew.

If this is the hatchback, then the most likely cause is chaffed wires to the
3rd brake light in the hatch hinge area.

Its a sedan.  But thanks for the advice.  I have a feeling it might
possibly have to do with the high mount brake lights since 2 have gone
out...but I really can't come up with anything else.
