According to the owner's manual, on a 1997 Ford Explorer there is a 20 amp maxi-fuse in the power distribution box in the engine compartment in location # 7 that is for the trailer park lamps and trailer stop lamps. If that is not the problem have your connector checked on the vehicle side. Any place that sales trailers can do that for you.
Aha, another one! Yes, our '99 caravan is acting the same way. I have checked the bulbs and fuses, both checked good. I even checked the wires with a volt meter. No power is getting to the bulb sockets.
Did you check the switch on the brake pedal assembly?
Well your 4WD might be going out, it probably wouldn't hurt to get it checked out.
Have your alternator checked out.
In a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac : In the Power Distribution Box ( which is " live " ) located in the engine compartment , on the drivers side of the engine compartment ( mini fuse # 29 is a 15 amp fuse for the fog lights )
The dash lights on an Explorer are used to light the warning symbols and to illuminate the speedometer, gas gauge, and RPM gauge. These lights are controlled by fuses.
If the brake lights are not coming on in your car and you have changed the bulbs and the fuses with no results, you could also check the wiring in your '98 Chevrolet Lumina. The wires may be damaged or even broken.
Drivers must use bright lights only when driving?
Have you checked your gauge panel dimmer switch ( just to the right of your headlight switch in your dash ) If that has been rotated all the way in one direction that will keep all your interior lights on with all the doors closed
Brake lights and tail lights. (Unless you have a spotter telling you of course)
Where is the fuse located that controls the inside dash lights on a 1993 Ford Explorer
Yes any tail lights/head lights, pretty much everything but doors will fit on both ford explorer sports and 4dr explorers between the years 1998 and 2001
