Are there any trouble spots associated with 93 Fords concerning lights. I have no tail lights. Bulbs are good, fuses are good, front running lights are fine, tail/brake lights work. Any ideas?
Is there a way to adjust the brake light switch on these rigs so they come on earlier, I was under there last night with the intention of adjusting it like the earlier models and with the new switch it doesn't appear to have any adjustment.

Thanks,

Trail Rider

Ford had some problems with the light switch. If i remember right they had a couple recalls on some models . I know i've replaced mine twice.But check your wiring and grounds to make sure you have power were you need it

Replace your headlight switch.Sometimes you can wiggle or push **** in and out rapidly and the lights will flicker.I've seen alot of these gone bad on alot of FOMOCO vehicles.Windsor

Thanks, I did find it, It was a jerry rigged trailer connection that the previous owner installed. I now know how to completely take apart my '93 Ford - inside, outside, frontside, and backside.
