Did you know that something as simple as your tail light bulb is being monitored by the pcm and/or module. Via voltage and ohms.

I knew that a burned out 3rd brake light stops the cruise control from working (and I don't remember where I learned that). And a gent with the screen name SSCULLY, over on the f150online forum says if all brake lights are out, you won't be able to get the gearshift out of Park.

Lovely how engineering tries to protect us in every possible way.
