Parking lights do not turn off

hello again, here is a new one: i pulled instrument cluster out to look for the hidden gremlin only thing i found was on the plug that goes into instrument cluster one of the wires has been cut and spliced into another. i did a little research and found that if the radio and windows working you can cut this wire and splice into one that it is spliced to and will again have power to radio and window and they now have constant power. could this be where my power is coming from?

Hi,

It is very possible. What color are the wires that have been spliced?

Let me know.

Joe

wire colors are pin #1green and yellow is cut and spliced into pin #19 black and purple wire. Now the overdrive light flashes and my 4-wheel drive low range light is on but not in 4x4.

Hi,

Pin 1 is green and yellow for the battery saver. Pin 19 should be dark blue for the horn relay. See attached.

Let me know.

Joe

so, i just got a chance to pull the lights that are not shutting off. i forgot to pull the headlight switch so first one i pull left front marker light, they shut off and now work correctly again. Please send holy water or good booze because this thing is going to drive me nuts. What do i need to do to fix it?

PS: did i mention the marker lights have been replaced with led bulbs green led bulbs if that matters?

Hi,

Honestly, holy water isn't a bad idea. LOL

As far as the LED, did someone rewire a new socket for them? If you install incandescent lights, does it make a difference?

Joe

No, it still has original plug and I put factory bulbs in they wouldn't shut off again I only had tile to check the front lights tonight. I will have more time tomorrow. I super appreciate all time and effort you are putting into helping me.

Alex, you are very welcome. I wish I had been there because it makes it easier for me.

Since the lights worked normally when you removed one bulb, check that light socket and determine which wire is supplying power when the lights are off.

Let me know.

Joe

well, that was short lived maybe half hour and i looked outside and lights where on so i pulled fuse when i got up this morning i had a wild hair and swapped out VSM that i had tried when this first started, but today it worked lights went off i switched them on off 2365 times and seems to be normal. so, on to the next issue if you are up to it.

Hi,

It's fixed? That's great!!! I'm here if you need help. However, if it is related to a different topic, we need to start a new thread. We try to keep this specific to one topic, so it is more helpful to others. I hope you understand.

Here is the link to start a new one.

I will watch for your new post.

Take care of yourself,

Joe

oh yes, no problem i understand. thank you so much for all you did we are on day 3 and lights work as they should.

Hi,

Day three? It sounds like the problem is resolved. I bet you are relieved. LOL Also, thanks for being understanding. I will continue watching for your new post.

Take care,

Joe

well, everything was working great until some melon head ran stop sign and t-boned me. guess i'm on the hunt for another truck.

Hi,

Wow, that isn't good news. Are you okay? The truck can be replaced, but a person can't. LOL

Let me know.

Joe

Are you still here Joe? The marker lights still live on, i have tried everything but the rear lights still won't shut off and have no power to front one now. Please help i need to get my life back this Ford has been holding me hostage.

Alex,

Yep, I'll be here forever. LOL I thought you were in a car accident and the truck was being replaced. It sounds like you still have it.

Let's try this again. Let me know which front doesn't work and if you already tried removing fuses to see if they would turn off.

Let me know.

Joe
