I have a 2000 Explorer. a few months ago my dash lights and tail lights went out, so i searched the forum and found i needed to switch the headlight switch, and that fixed it.
now here i am again, same lights go out and i think all i need to do is swap out the switch. wrong. no luck.
i noticed some of the wires were kind of burnt so i had my father (i have no idea how to work with wires, he does) take a look. he tested some of the wires and found a few weren't working so he repaired them. my lights all worked for about 2 weeks until they went out again. now they come on randomly every now and then. my power windows also stopped working.
my question is, is there anything i could buy and replace that would fix this besides jus the headlight switch? why are my windows out? (not a fuse, all my fuses are good.) and what causes my lights to keep going out?
i am not a mechanic so please try to explain as simple as possible. any help would be greatly appreciated. this problem is preventing me from driving when its dark and is affecting my work schedule.
thanks!
