If you have the headlight delay feature, by passing the moduel will eliminate this feature. Good luck with it.

Replying to: rvoskuil (Jan 11, 2008 5:26 am) My best guess would be a fusable link, possible under the hood, but I can't say for certain. You may want to consult a Ford truck mechanic (not just some pinhead walking around the service dept). I looked on my 2004 diesel F-250 but it's near impossible to see with the mass of wiring under there. Good luck. KF
#41 of 111 Brake/Turn Lamps by kevin57 Jan 14, 2008 (12:38 pm)
2005 F-150: The brake and turn lamps on my taillamps are not illuminating. Not the fuse. I can't seem to get the lamp housings off to check the bulbs even though I removed the two screws on the side after opening the bed door? Thanks for suggestions.

Replying to: kevin57 (Jan 14, 2008 12:38 pm) They may be just stuck, new you know. The only other thing holding those in are some push in one way lock tabs. You may have to wiggle them a little, but pulling straight back is how they come out with those screws removed. It sounds like your breaking the thing when those metal spring locks start to release.

what can be the cause of the tail lights and the license plate lights not to work. I have change light bulbs, the light switch and the fuse inside the truck under the dash. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: mickeymouse2 (Jan 17, 2008 6:34 pm)

Replying to: vibe98 (Jan 17, 2008 3:39 pm) Do you have power and ground at the socket? With what you have already stated you must be missing one of them. If you have power going through the fuse, and I mean you tested it with a test light. It could be something wrong with the harness. I would double check the bulbs you used, and make sure they are pushed into the sockets correctly. The little metal tabs sometimes bend out of shape. Test the socket for power and then repost.

Well it has been -4 degrees with an wind chill of -20 but I am doing my best to check the sockets.   I do have brake lights, hazzard lights, change all light bulbs in the tail lights again, change the fuse in slot 18 with a 5amp fuse, plus I do have front parking lights and hazzards and headlights. But no tails and license plate lights. I did locate the conector for the wiring harnes also and i wiggle it hoping something will happen but to no avail.   Seems no fuse are getting blown. Licenses plate bulbs look good too. I am still stump. Any suggest now besides checking the power and ground?

Replying to: vibe98 (Jan 19, 2008 2:12 pm) Your parking lights are on the same circut as your tail lights and license plate light. Forget about your other lights for now. You either are missing ground or positive for the tail lights and plate light. Take a test light to one of the sockets and see which one is missing. You may have just lost a good enough ground for the bed of the truck. Replies to this message: vibe98 (Jan 21, 2008 10:49 am) mickeymouse2 (Jan 21, 2008 1:55 pm) vibe98 (Jan 21, 2008 2:33 pm)

Replying to: mickeymouse2 (Jan 19, 2008 6:12 pm) The wire harness under the truck bed by the shock was cut. It probably happened when I changed out shocks by the shop. The wire loom was melted through plus the black tape was melted. Thanks for all the help.   How much would a wire harness cost from the back to front?
