Windstar NO REAR LIGHTS

[blkdeath75]

Have since torn out all the carpet from the tailgate to the back of the driver seat(including the console and VCR) looking for a loose ground with no luck. Double and triple checked all the fuses and even replaced 8 and 11 to be on the safe side....all working there. I did however discover that following the wires to the front driver side door that being this car is from Chicago and salt infested, the underside of the carpet is completely rusted through at the base of the driver side door where the wires travel through. I have yet to find a ground near here but I feel like I'm getting close. I will be pulling the fuse box soon as suggested by windstarchris and checking the 2 plugs/adapters for corrosion s they are very close to the suspect rust area, although all of the fuses ARE getting power, I just am unsure if they are getting enough voltage. On with the struggle.....

Sorry to revive an old post, but I'm having same problem (no rear lights). The big difference is that I have no power at the cabin fuse panel (fuses 1,2,7,8,12,13,18,19). A schematic would be very helpful. Thanks.

I did buy an extra relay to check those next, but I am coming close to thinking I have a loose ground wire somewhere as the problem was at first every once and awhile before it failed completely. Soon as it warms a bit I will strip the interior carpet and look for my loose wire. I will post back anything I find.

Any luck blkdeath75?
