Light don't work !! Got a ticket

[BeauJ]

Last week my parking, interior and taillights just cut out while I was driving at nite. Brand new altenator and the battery was charging fine. My taillights work when I hit the brakes, but when I turn the lights on nothing happens. Also when I flip my light switch is turned to the parking lights, nothing. But when I turn it to the headlights, thats all that comes on.

Please help, I really don't wanna go dump money at Ford just yet, and already got a ticket last nite for it.

check your illumination wire of your cd player and your fuses. Same thing happened to a buddys acura

Yeah, check the fuses first...don't jumper it with tinfoil unless you are ready to deal with burnt wires. If the fuse blows again, it means there is a short somewhere. You can test the fuses with a multimeter without removing them (0 ohms resistance). Or you can pull them and put them back in, as sometimes just the terminals (knife edge prongs) on the fuses get a little corroded and keep it from working.

Did you check your fuses yet? It def sounds like a blown fuse...If the fuse blows again then you have a short somewhere in the parking light wireing.
