Street lights typically operate using a light-sensitive device called a photocell or photoresistor. When it gets dark, the photocell detects the drop in ambient light levels and sends a signal to turn the street lights on. Conversely, when dawn breaks and light levels increase, the photocell signals the lights to turn off. This automatic system ensures that the lights operate efficiently, illuminating streets only when needed.

1993 ford explorer light switch was replaced once and the problem was ok for two month and occured again head lights work but panel light does not?

I have been told that there is a locking clip that holds the switch together. If the clip comes loose the dash lights and running lights won't work when you pull it out. To check if this is what is going on turn on the lights, very slightly push the switch in (like you are going to turn it off) you will find the dash light and the running lights will come back on. I'm not sure how to re-attach the clip that keeps coming loose.
