Hello, having some electrical problems.
I've searched the forums and I can't find anything that matches my problem. I just bought a 77 F150 4x4 and have absolutely no lights anywhere. The previous owner said they all worked until he tried putting in a new ignition switch. After that, no lights and the ignition would not work. He bypassed everything and now has a push button switch to start it. All the fuses are fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

All the guages work, just no lights (headlights, taillights or brake lights) or power to the heater blower and radio. The po just hooked up a toggle switch to the solonoid to start it. Runs great, just no lights. I ordered a new light switch and ingnition switch, maybe one of those is burned out? Thanks for the responses.

That's certainly possible - but it's a little tough to troubleshoot over the internet if a previous owner has hacked up the wiring. Here's a link to some wiring diagrams so that you can trace things out:
