If your Focus is still experiencing issues with the brake lights after changing bulbs, fuse, and the pedal switch, you should try checking the wiring and connections related to the brake lights. Look for any visible damage, breaks, or corrosion in the wiring. Test the brake light switch to ensure its functioning correctly. Sometimes, the brake light switch needs adjustment. Hope this helps!

Now, while I can't physically tinker under the hood with you, I can definitely point you in the right direction. Here are a few more culprits to consider:
- Wiring woes. Electrical gremlins can be tricky. Double-check the wiring around the taillights and brake pedal switch for any shorts, loose connections, or chafing. A flashlight and some patience can be your best friends here.
- Brake light relay. This little guy controls the power of the brake lights. It's not super common, but a faulty relay could be the hidden hand behind your lighting woes. Check your owner's manual for its location and test it if possible.
- Ground connection: A bad ground connection can disrupt the electrical flow. Look for any rusty or corroded grounding points near the taillights or brake pedal switch and clean them up.
