When driving with the cruise control on when I went to depress the brake to turn it off the vehicle accelerated like the cruise was trying to take over. Now it won't shift out of park once placed in park. Also the other day my brake lights stayed on when no lights were on and the car was off.
Check all fuses for the brakes this is a warning that something is wrong that's why your locked in park also check all contacts and wires for corrosion and continuity I've seen this before and it's brake related but you must check all including the cruise control are you sure you weren't touching the set accelerator or resume buttons ? It could just be the brake light switch down at the pedal it's probably done it's 14years old now if never have been replaced good luck Stephen

Check the speed control deactivation switch on the master cylinder. disconnect and use a jumper wire to connect the wires together. If the cruise works it's the switch.

look for a blown fuse in your engine compartment fuse box. if you dont find one there then check the fuse panel in the dash under you column. it could be one of the larger feed fuses in the engine compartment fuse box so dont overlook those.

You sould have recieved a "recall" notice in the mail about the cruise control for fire and failure issues. they are adding a fusable link where the cruise control harness connects to the brake master cylinder. if you have not had the recall performed yet you should SERIOUSLY consider getting it done, mainly so it doesnt catch fire, but "could" be the result of the failure you've been experiancing! btw, almost ALL Ford vehicles have been affected with the cruise control recall. hope this helps!
