If you notice other things not working, such as heat/air blower, windshield wipers, and of course, no headlights, but parking lights / tail lights still work, it is probably the electronic ignition switch located inside your steering column. The part is cheap, but the labor is more expensive. Probably a $125 fix at a local trusted foreign car mechanic.
Answersometimes with this problem the emergencey brake light signal is on in the instsrument cluster. If you tick back the ignition until you hear a click and the car is still running it may allow a connection in your ignition swith and allow your instruments to function again, And you can save yourself a $125 bucksWiki User

Why would 2004 Monte Carlo lowbeams not work High beams do checked fuses and bulbs what else could be the problem?
Headlight dimmer switch is defective
Ford Focus handbrake light on all the time?
The handbrake light is also the 'low fluid' warning light. It is connected to the handbrake as that ensures that it is checked every time you use the handbrake. If it remains on all the time, then check the brake fluid and top up if required. If the fluid is ok then it is probably the switch on the lever and is adjustable.
