1995 Ford Aerostar 2WD 4.0L EFI 6cyl Electrical troubleshooting
Daytime running lights, instrument cluster lights, license plate lights don't light. I removed the headlight switch, tested the terminals on the switch (per Haynes repair manual), everything works. The electrical connector looks damaged from heat, it's brown and distorted, so, I thought that was the problem. I plugged the switch into it and tested the outputs at all the switch positions and they all checked out correctly, showed 11.9V, and the dimmer went up and down while rotating the switch. But, the lights still don't come on!
The headlights work and all the other lights work. It's hard to trace the wires after they come out of the switch, they go into wire looms and who knows where.
Am I missing something? I am going to replace the connector, it's in pretty bad shape. If that doesn't fix it, what next?
Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
