1997 F-150/No Lights

I have a 97 F-150 4wd. Currently I have no parking lights, tail lights, and instrument illumination. All fuses checked out ok. However, there is no power to the fuse labeled "parking & tail lamps" in the power distribution box. What do I look for next?

Your F-150 may be the same as a Ranger? The Ranger has a 20a park light fuse in the dist.box AND a 15a in the fuse panel inside the cab.

If there is no power to either side of the fuse then the 175 amp maxi fuse would have to be blown or a burned up PDB, which is unlikely. All the fuses from that maxi fuse would have no power. Pull the fuse out and test the connectors themselves, you may just have a loose fitting fuse in the PDB or a poorly grounded test light/multimeter.. Also you have a park lamp relay which may be bad.
