1996 ford Econoline van. No running lights or brake lights. Where's the fuse. Please do tell. I'm stuck on the side of the road

You might have cut a wire or it could have broken or disconnected. Try tracing the wiring where you hooked up the trailer you may find one broken or disconnected.

SOURCE: air bag light blinking

Every blink is a number. The code is composed of two numbers. Read the code and check what is wrong on error table code. By example at http://autorepair.about.com/library/images/bl797lib.htm, or you can google for the codes of the SRS. After you know what is wrong it gonna be easy to fix it (I didnt said cheap).

best bet is get a WIRING DIAGRAM. you should have current (12 volts) on both sides of the fuse that works the tailights.if not there is probably a broken wire or a shorted wire leading up to the fuse. you kinda need the wiring diagram so u can see in which order the current "flows" which will help point u in the right direction.

Common fault on FORD
Usually due to a poor connection in the YELLOW PLASTIC CONNECTOR underneath the passenger seat.


Just push it together properly and it should clear the AirBag fault

SOURCE: Where is the manual lever position sensor located

Dear Curlydrumzx,
This sensor is located on the left side of the transmission. It is the switch just below the shift cable.
To change it,you need to block the wheels and jack the left front side up.This is to gain access. Apply the park brake and shift the unit into neutral. On the side of the transmission, disconnect the shift cable and the bracket. Unplug the electrical connector. At this point,there are two bolts holding the switch to the side of the transmission. Remove them and pull the switch away from the side of the transmission.
You can reverse the order to reinstall. The only other step is to align the switch to the neutral position before you tighten the two mounting bolts. Ford has a tool #T92P-70010-AH that does this. They are available through aftermarket tool companies and can be rented from some parts houses. Some people can line up the marks on the switch. I prefer the line up tool,that takes out the guess work.
The switch has a list price from $100-$150. You maybe able to get it cheaper from other manufactures.
I hope this helps.Drop me a line if you need any other information. Thanks,Chuck
