I've recently bought a 51 plate 1.6 Focus Zetec and the brake lights are stuck on when driving. Any ideas how I can solve this?
Focus brake lights stuck on

The brake light switch sits above the brake pedal, and uses a sort of half-turn bayonet fixing. If the car was valeted before you got it, perhaps the switch has been dislodged from the bracket. This would put the lights on.

Remove *one* stop/tail light bulb. Check to see if the fault is still present on the remaining bulb. If it's OK, chuck the bulb you removed and fit a new one.
If the fault persists after removing the first bulb, replace it and then remove the other one. Re-check for proper operation. If OK, chuck the removed bulb and fit a new one.
If the fault persists with either bulb missing then please post back.
