My 02 Ford Escort ZX2 my control panel lights don't come on. My tail lights are out. Fuse has been changed.?

When I turn on my head lights in my Ford ZX2 my control panel lights do not come on. My tail lights are out as well. The fuse has been changed and blown twice now. The brightness of the lights is turned all the way up.

There is a reason the fuse has blown twice and that would be.........................there is a short in the system somewhere. As answer #1 said replace the headlight switch yeah there could be a short in that causing your problem and I would have one on hand but I doubt that you do and you wouldn't want to spend money for a new one if that isn't the problem. So check for a bare wire for taillights and dash lights first. If you don't find a bare wire then remove the switch and test it for continuity you will know if that is the problem before spending $ for a new one.

Replace your headlight switch.
go to your local junkyard for the headlight switch, I recently went to mine, found a dozen zx2's there, ripe for the picken. But there is a short somewhere, thats the fun part. Does it immediatly pop when you turn on the lights? then it would be your headlight switch. OR possibly your dimmer switch bad?
