I have a 2001 Ford Focus with 130,000 miles. The tail lights will not work or the dashboard lights, we have replaced all the fuses, all the bulbs even took it to an electric shop and they couldn't find a short...I haven't had too many problems with the car just normal wear and tear this problem is hard to resolve and can't do things in the evening
