Electrical problem
1998 Ford F150 V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I can trick it into starting in neutral but I still have no brake lights and all the fuses test good along with the switch at the pedal.

thanks

You need to get the brake lights to work-the brake switch powers the shift lock control solenoid within the shift interlock control system. also a part of the cruise control-
