Lighting problem
I have a 1980 Bronco and the parking lamps as well as the gauge lights do not work. However, the headlamps work and the brake lights work as well as do the turn signals. I have already replaced the head light switch, but it was for nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?

The most common thing I have seen is if the radio has been replaced or any other accessories installed that need a ground, so someone used the lt. blue wire with a red strip for a ground. This is the power for your dash lights. If this has happened you need to find a black ground wire and replace the fuses.

Have you checked for voltage or good grounds for the light sockets? It could be a broken wire Inside the insulation by the switch or bad body grounds. On mine I forgot to reconnect the ground on my fender after I replaced it and none of my front lights worked.
