Problems at Last!!!!!!!
I have a 1999 F250 Super Duty and three nights ago I lost all dash lighting and tail lights. I checked my under dash fuses and all were good but when I got to my under hood fuses the 15amp going to my towing harness was blown. I am the second owner of this truck but the first guy was not to gentle on wiring. I have removed the 7 blade, 4 flat and goose neck wiring harnesses by unplugging them from the rear and unsplicing the rats nest that was back there. Bought a new headlight switch and still as soon as I turn the park lights on the door chime quits and no dash or tail lights. I am not a wiring enthusiast was planning on maybe buying a new harness but Ford no longer makes this harness so would anyone have any ideas short of crawling under and cut and splice?

perhaps knowing exactly what harness you are looking for might help.
etrailer has some plug ends that connect to the factory harness, but if your truck is butchered before the plug end, about all you can do is fix the damage (solder and heatshrink), or replace the whole pigtail to some point before all the splicing was done.
pics may help too.

I originally bought the headlight switch after checking all my fuses and thought it might be related to the dash cluster issue because the circuits show a connection there. I appreciate the schematics because it looks like they are going to come in handy.

Towing harness has its own fuse not related to your issue...Are your park lights out? front and rear and dash?
Fuse 8 inside truck controls that 15a
Unless of course someone hooked up the trailer lights to the regular park light circut..But that would be fuse 8 inside.

Yeah the back was a rats nest and even after I unhooked everything the 7 blade the 4 flat and goose next and replaced the 15 amp under the hood as soon as I turn the park lights on I blows so I have no dash, tail lights, or rear turn signals but headlights and front turn signals work fine but no front markers looks like the 7 blade and goose neck were spliced off each other to get power to the goose neck what a mess.
