Electric problem

I have a 89 escort gt. I need to get the lights to work.
It needs tail, secondary, fog, and interior lights to work.
The headlights, dome and sencor lights work perfect.
With a new switch I can get the stop light to work.
Any suggestions? What is the fuse voltage rate for escort lights?
Thanks!:smokin:

Fuse voltage rate for the lights should be 10 amps.
Got near enough the same problem, Tail and fog lights dont work but all other lights do, i can drop a feed wire from the tail gate connection for the rear wiper and lights work but need to disconnect wire to turn them off again, checked Relays, fuse,wires but all to no avail.
I have been told that the problem could be a fracture in the fuse box or a worn connection in the light cluster switch.

Yes, I checked the headlight switch, disconnected the connector and found some of the wires were burned, thinking this is the problem, I will try to replace these wires...
