2002 Explorer 4.0 V6, checked the fuse looks good, replaced the bulbs, still no brake lights when brake is applied. Parking lights, turn signals and hazards work. Have to manually depress the switch to shift from park when brake is applied.

Probably get better answers in cars and trucks category, but sounds like a brake light switch problem to me.

I agree on both points

Moved to Cars and Trucks from Electrical.

What is going on lately, getting several vehicle questions in the Electrical Forum??
