No lights
Hey everyone,
Well gotta love old fords I wrecked mine today and im still driving it lol little shakier than before, i wont go into that but here are the problems I'm haveing:
When I turn on my lights, my headlights are fine, but my parking lights and my ruinning lights all aroind, side markers, insturmant panel lights, flash. Turn signals will not work either. Could it be a loose wire and if so where do you think, are all these lights kinda connected? I also have a CB hooked up and it will not turn on, no fuses blown... pretty frustrated

That's like me asking you why the food I cooked tastes bad without telling you the recipe. Need more information.

This is the circuit breaker in the headlight switch interrupting. There's a short downstream of the switch in the running light circuit; most likely due to a pinched wire or smashed socket. I'm guessing some sheetmetal cut into the wiring harness, depending on how you got hit.
Have you done any actual troubleshooting? What kind of shape are your bulbs in? Did this work before the wreck?

I went out to check at night when it was quiet and dark and heard a on and off sound at the back of the truck, turns out wires pulled out of my trailer plug and were touching eachother. Thank you for the replys
