Locating Cold Side of Brake Light Switch on 2016 Lincoln MKX
Question:
Can you tell me the color of the cold wire plugged into the brake light switch for a 2016 Lincoln MKX? My understanding is a 4 wire connector also involving the speed control. A plug diagram would also suffice. Thanks in advance

Expert Reply:
Based on my research the cold side of the brake light switch behind the brake pedal in your 2016 Lincoln MKX should be a purple/white wire. With this in mind I do still highly recommend that you test the wires with a circuit tester like # PTW2979 to make sure you find the wire that only receives power with the brake pedal depressed (and no power with any other function). Hopefully starting with the purple/white wire will shorten this testing process to just one wire.
