hey all,
the other night the lights in my gauge cluster and ac controls went dark while i was driving. when i finally parked, i noticed that my tail lights were out too. my brake lights still came on when i stepped on the pedal though.
here's how i troubled shot it:
-checked fuses, fuses were good. checked bulbs, bulbs were good.
-unhooked battery, opened the dash and replaced the HEAD LIGHT SWITCH which i got from autozone for 20 bucks.
-hooked my battery back up, and my gauge lights came on, ac control lights came on, but the tail lights were still out, and now my ABS light on my dash flipped on.
-then i called ford and was told there wasnt a relay for the tail lights, but a brake light switch attached to the brak pedal. i got a new one from kragen for 13 bucks and replaced the old one.
-no luck, the tail lights still wont work, and the ABS is light is still on.
im thinking the ABS came on because of the bigger tires (33") that i recently put on. my main concern are the tail lights because now i cant drive at night.
can anyone help me with this problem? i really dont want to pay a guy to fix this. any help would be greatly appreciated.
