Check the light sockets and wiring for the F150 panel and parking lights. Look for water in the connection, or a broken bulb. There is a short somewhere in the system. If those places are ok then the wires need to be traced to find the short.
Should be the same as parking/dash lights on the lower left kick panel

Check parking/tailight fuse
Our 1993 Ford would not randomly (or so we thought) shift into overdrive. We eventually figured out this happened when the headlights / parking lights were on. We then traced it to a bad ground in the parking lights circuit. We fixed the ground and the shifting issue was fixed. No joke.
Check fuses-- common circuit
under dashboard
Check your brake lights and see if they are working. Ford has it so if your brake lights are out you can not shift out of park.
