Rex Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 While replacing the brake light switch, everything went dead. Nothing at all will work including the lights. I checked all the fuses in the fusebox and could find only one that looked like it was blown. I replaced that but still no juice. Is there some other fuse somewhere else that I may have blown?

Rex Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 No I don't have one. The Ford garage says I blew a fuse, but whenever that has happened before it has just been one thing that doesn't work. This time there is no one home anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 10, 2015 Member Share Posted July 10, 2015 This is the one I recommend but anything should help. This may be hard without one.While you're getting one I'd start with disconnecting, cleaning and reconnecting your battery connections.Where are you?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 I am now thinking the problem may be with the Master switch on the dash. If I move it around a bit and then turn the ignition on I get a very faint ignition light but still no headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 I guess I need to update my Bio. I am in Pennsylvania, USA -- a long way from help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 10, 2015 Member Share Posted July 10, 2015 I haven't got one of those and I always forget about them. It's a good candidate for a single cause. You can fiddle with it and the connections but I'd get that meter.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks, I'm going to have a beer (one) and then I'm going to try your suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Bypass the master switch by connecting the fat cables on it together on the same stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
