When I pull my headlight switch to turn on the headlights, only the headlights come on, the parking lights and tail lights are off. My turn signals, brake, and hazzard lights all work though.<br /><br />I assumed it was the headlight switch, so I bought a new one and when unplugging the connector I seen that it (the connector) was burnt and melted. So I replaced the connector & headlight switch.<br /><br />Even with the new connector and new headlight switch I was still having the same problem! So I checked all my fuses and they are all good.<br /><br />Anyone have any insight? Could this be caused by the ignition switch? I'm at a loss.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Oh, car is a 1995 Mustang, 3.8L, 5 Speed. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>JohnB</b> <br /><small>Member # 969</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,0,8,17,35,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Check your wiring diagram.

I had already checked all the fuses in the car previously, but upon looking at the fuse locations and the actual fuse block, I noticed....Fuse #5 wan't even there!<br /><br />Put a 15amp fuse in, problem solved. Only cost me $45 for a new connector (old was melted, needed anyway), a new headlight switch, and a test light. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
