Electrical problem
2001 Ford Focus 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

First off, it's NOT my brake light switch or turn signal switch. I've had both replaced with brand new parts and both have had no effect. My turn signals as well as my emergency lights occasionally work and after a few times of braking my brake lights get stuck on. I'm not sure if the problems are related but I've got a hunch that it's a relay so I figure the more info the better. Both always seem to work as soon as I start the car up and I'm pretty sure the brake lights work perfectly when I'm in park. Anyone have any idea?

when brake lights are stuck on do you notice the turn signal indicators faintly lighten up?

when you say turn signals dont work do they stay on and not flash or no illumination at all?

When the brake lights are on I do not notice the indicators lighten up when the brake lights are on.

When the turn signals aren't working there's nothing, no illumination outside the car or on the dash.
