Ford ThunderBird Ford thought they'd take their own stab at the nostalgia business. There are quite a few last-century icons that wear the blue oval. For a revival subject, why not use a car famous enough to have been the subject of Beach Boys songs, starred in George Lucas movies, and has been gone long enough to be missed? Why not indeed. In 2002, the Thunderbird was reborn.

Default 1995 Thunderbird Light Problems

I have a 1995 Thunderbird LX with Autolamp system. At present my headlights, signal lights and brake lights work but my dash lights, tail lights and marker lights do not. I have checked the fuses and tried different settings on the autoswitch including turning it off and using only the headlight switch, no change.
Seems to me like it could be the light switch, has anyone ran into this problem previously and if so what fixed it.
To get at the light switch looks like a major.

Any help would be appreciated

This may or may not help you but I had the same problem with mine. It would blow the 'interiorlamps' fuse at different times. Turns out that the under hood light has a socket that plugs into the main harness. It's on this same circuit. This plug was corroded inside and was intermittently shorting out.
