Question:

1996 Ford Contour no tail/dash lights?

I have a 1996 Ford Contour sedan. The tail lights, and the dash lights have gone out. The head lights, high beams, turn signals, break lights, everything else is working fine. The last time this happened, I replaced the headlight switch and that fixed it. But this time, I replaced the headlight switch again, and it still doesn't work. I checked all the fuses in the box under the steering wheel, and all of them are fine. Any guesses as to what else could be causing the problem?

Answer:

I have the exact same problem. And it's not a fuse!!!!!
See Ford Contour Recall # 8779. If you have NO blown fuses, your problem is almost certainly the light switch.
recheck the fuses - one or more of them may look OK, but are burned out ( they should be labeled for each component, like radio for the radio, and etc )
