Recently a Bolt fell and hit my foot from under.

The dash lights and the runnning lights are not working, but everything else on the fuse circuit is working, also when bolt fell out and dash lights quit working, ASB light started flashing(just wondering if bolt hit something to short out a circuit?)

It was the gearshift lever bolt about 1 inch long, with machine threads. I tightend the bolt back in place which fixed the earlier problem with the sloppy shifter.I have also read that the problem could be a relay switch, module, or sensor, or headlight switch.

Sorry to mislead you. Yes they are on 2 seperate circuits. Here it is step by step
I had problems with sloppy gears shift, the bolt fell out from the gear shift, and the dash lights quit working, and the ABS light started flashing, that was a month ago. This week the daytime run lights, (or parking lights)do not work any more, dash light fuse is still good as is the fuse for the running lights. Most of all I need to know how to fix the running lights as I can not drive it at night with no running lights.

I donated and no one can answer my question, what gives?

Shifter is fine, put bolt back in, forget shifter.
Okay when I say running lights they are the ones you see when the head lights are on, and dash lights are illumanation, also what happens is when I turn on the headlight switch the rear ABS inicator light flashes continuasly until I turn key off, and will stay off until I turn headlight switch on again, but only with engine running, with lots of reading on my part also.I am hoping it is just the headlight switch, but also found that it could be the lighting control module, could you send me a schematic of the area that would be located in(the lighting control module), or tell me where it is located if that is the problem, sound like that would be easier to replace than the headlight switch,
thanks

Yes brake lights and signal lights work, what do you mean check the tail light fuse on both sides?Explain please. Everything else on the fuse circuit works except the parking lights, back up lights work, etc. Etc. And how do you remove the headlight switch?

No power at the fuse (0.00), how do you remove the headlight switch?I am 6 feet 5 inches tall, and wear glasses so I don't fit too well in a 3 foot square area, standing on my head. Ley me know of the easest way to remove the switch.

Thanks

The switch is in the dash, left side. And yes I checked the fuse with the power on for the running lights, I have already checked everything. There is no power at the fuse, will I have to remove the dash to get to it as I can see there is no other way to get to the headlight switch, and at this point, if I have to remove a bunch of stuff to get it out I mite as well replace it.I do not have a garage or a place to fix this out of the rain, and I live in Oregon, and tomorrow it's supposed to rain again, so please, just tell me how to remove the headlight switch, and the lighting control module, you sent me a schematic once before, can you do it again, 1994 FORD AEROSTAR with the biggest v-6 motor, 2 wheel drive, non-Canadien, regular dash, non-digital
thanks

Thank you, I will try that in the morning, and unlike others on other web sites I will keep you posted if this fixes the problem.

Okay.I replaced the headlight switch and the running lights still do not work, along with the dash lights, enclosed is a picture of the plug where it got so hot it melted some of the plastic, so next question is where is the Lighting Control Module located at, and what does it look like, the wires at the plug still look okay, not brittle or burnt.
