All was ok until lightning came CLOSE to the car. It seemed to have glowed inside the car, then I seen I had no dash lights, then later found I have no tail lights, however, the blinker and brake lights work fine ! Help !
The running lights and dash lights are on the same circuit.The brake lights and turn signals are on their own circuit.You need to use a 12v test light to see where the circuit is broken,starting at the fuse,then the headlight switch,then the dash harness.(If the headlights work,you at least know the headlight switch is getting power).
SOURCE: Both Tail lights and dash lights are out. Fuse is OK
I had the lights on my dash and tail lights go out on my 1995 Grand Am
3.1 V6. After much investigation, it ended up being that the turn
signal switch had gone bad. I got mine at Autozone - $79.99 for one
with cruise, $69.99 for one without. SW860 for the non-cruise, SW859
for the cruise version. It is sometimes referred to as a multifunction
switch - however, when I called and asked about that, it seemed as
though the parts are NOT the same (MFS was much more expensive). Make
sure you specify turn signal switch (that also controls the tail
lights, headlights, etc).
In order to replace it, you need to remove the cover around the
steering column - we couldn't get the lower part of the cover off and
subsequently also had to pull the steering wheel (which also meant
disabling the air bag), then remove the bad turn signal switch (which
also controls the headlights, parking lights, tail lights, etc), pop in
a new one, put everything back together (re-enabling the airbag) and
then you can enjoy a life of dash lights and tail lights once again.

These shops must be stupid did not one of them check your Main head light switch?
Ford was silly wihen they designed it Power goes to the head lamp switch, back through to the lights so the switch gets verryyy hot and being a 91 towncar the part is well past its life span to!
You should be able to get a replacement part cheap enough or go to local junk yard if you feel lucky!
SOURCE: Brake lights work but tail lights won't work with
The Tail lights and Instrument lights are usually on the same circuit so both will go out if the fuse for the circuit blows. Check for a blown fuse for this circuit and replace if out. If fuse continues to fail, check the tail light or side globes for a faulty globe and replace if necessary. Also check for any chafed wires that could be shorting to the body causing the fuse to blow.
