The design is different on the post 1997 mondeos, the light switches are controlled by the lock on the B & C pillars. There is a rubber switch behind the loop that the lock engages with. email@bigstoop.co.uk mondeosport.com
The ford mondeo is a European cars, the head lights and the grill from th ford mondeo, they look semilar as those from the ford contour
sounds to me like a wire to the door switches might begrounded, a bad switch, or how about this. Do you have the MANUAL INTERIOR LIGHT SWITCH in the on position. Check it out. Good luck
The door switches are located inside the door locks. If your having any problems with them. for example your interior lights / running board lights exc, are staying on . spray some WD-40 on all the door jams including the rear door hatch and glass. this should take care of problem.
Push the button below them.

I had this happen to my 1999 town car. There is a computer lighting module which controls the action of the lights. A bad module causes lights not to respond to switches ( the switches don't turn on the lights directly, but send a signal to the computer lighting module). This unfortuantely is an expensive replacement.
yeh funny that my 1999 mondeo has the same - did you find a solution at all? thanks
by pooting a led lights
If the interior and parking lights are not working on a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder, the first fuses to check would be the interior light fuse. Also check to make sure the light switch is in the right position to allow the interior lights to come on.
Probably one of your door switches. These are the little nipple looking buttons that tell the truck when to turn on the lights (when you open the doors). You should be able to push it shut with your finger and see if there is still voltage going through the switch to tell which one is bad. There is no real short cut for this.
I have the same problem with my 1999. The tail lights as well as the interior instrument panel and the license plate lights are all not working.
