Couple of Electrical Problems

[GMAN]

My parking lights and my neon light is not coming on. Only the headlights. What can this be?
Also, when I close all doors, the interior lights stay on and doesn't auto dim like they are supposed to. They just stay on. Only turning off after five minutes or so. What's going on?

Are any of th erear lights working, ex tag lights???

 

[GMAN]

No lights are on. Am I missing a fuse? If so, which one?

Go check the electrical pulgs in the rear by the airride switch. it happened to me before. Make sure all are plugged together tight.

All my plugs are plugged in. I checked all the fuses, none are blown. The signal lights work, the hazard light works. But the moment I turn on the lights, nothing. Only the headlights. Any ideas? Also, the interior lights wont turn off after I exit.

In most other Fords this is from a bad MFS (the turn signal stalk) but you could also have a bad headlight switch. The dome light is a different issue methinks. Do you have a door ajar error? Sounds like a door switch is sticking maybe.

 

[GMAN]

Yea, but I don't have a door ajar error.

Your headlight switch is bad. The contacts for the parking lights are burned and the dome light contacts for the dimmer are messed up. Thats my guess.
Dissconect the headlight/dimmer switch and then close the door and see if the light fades out. If so then you know the problem. Seems someone around here may have one.

Well, I got the interior lights to go off. Just the pesky Door Ajar warning. I shot the hinge latch with some WD-40, and that took care of that. I still haven't figured out why I can't get the park lights to come on, or the brake lights to work.

My brake lights were out and the only way I could get out of park is to turn the key almost on put it in neuteral and start.It was a bad break switch located on the pedal arm. a $ 10,00 part, with only a half moon carter pin holding it.but you got to pay atention how it is together,it has nylon and plastic shims on either side that will cause break lites to stay on if not in place.
