I found a safety recall for the 2019 Ford Ranger for the same condition (19S43).  This safety recall identifies connector C442 as the root cause for the incident.  Based on this information, I located the connected.  I disconnected the connector, did visual inspection.  Visual inspection did not find any bent pins, so I reconnected connector.  After inspection and reconnection of connector C442 the brake light now work.   A little background on me.  I\u2019m a retire Service Engineer from Nissan and I have extensive background in vehicle service issues, recalls and campaigns.   Based on my experience,  I believe that the incident I confirmed on my vehicle may indicate that the Ford Ranger may continue to have brake light inoperative condition beyond the current Safety Recall window of vehicle.  I have already contacted Ford to advise them of this condition.  I offered to make my vehicle available to Ford for inspection, Ford declined.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"RANGER","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
