    My 1998 Ford Windstar has no headlights, turn signals, hazzard lights, or wipers
    I have no headlights, turn signals, hazzard lights, or wipers. Now my back wiper on the van will work in reverse but the front ones don't work at all. My parking lights, tail lights, and brake lights do work. What is the problem? I have checked the fuses and they are OK. 1998 Ford Windstar Mini Van with 110,000 miles.

    . Test all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    Visual inspections are not good enough.

    . Check combination light switch.

    . Check turn signal/hazard relay.

    . Check ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting.

    Also my turn signals are not even coming up on the dash, not only do they not work they are not showing that they are working on my dash. The ignition is in good condition with no wear or melting or anything like that. I will check every fuse with the light, I only checked the relevant ones earlier. Any other ideas?

    When dash lights don't light, it's often an indication that there's a problem with the ignition switch/harness. Power flows from the + battery, to the under hood fuse/relay box, to the ignition switch, to the under dash fuse/relay box, to dash lights, etc.
