I have a 2002 ford F250 and I am replacing the stock headlights with Halo projector lights. I accidentally touched two wires together and now the parking lights dont work, but the blinkers do. I have checked all the fuses and they are good. Anyone know what I am overlooking?

There are 2 fuse panels on your truck. i will assume you checked the fuses under your dash.. you need to check the fuse panel in the engine compartment on the left side near the fire wall. There are relays and fuses in there... Pretty sure you just blew a fuse! dont forget to check the larger feed fuses too.

SOURCE: ford expedition yr'00 headlight not working checked fuses..

The low beam headlamps have a seperate fuse for each lamp in the central or underdash fuse panel.
The right headlamp is fuse fuse 26 (10amp) and the left is fuse 28 (10 amp). These fuse are hot only when headlamps are on so you need to test them with a test light with headlamps on. If they do not have power to them then concern is either headlamp switch or daytime running lamp relay if your vehicle is equipped with this feature, or a bad multifunction switch.
Power leaves the headlamp switch on the RD/YE wire and goes to multifunction switch. It leaves multifunction switch on the other RD/YE wire The wire will then go thru either a connector c2003 located behind the passenger side air bag behind the dash or to the DRL relay if your vehicle has this feature and leaves there on RD/BK wire to the headlights .

Just found the answer on another site. Sure enough went out removed the 3 philips head screws in the steering column opened it up and walla a wire connection had pulled itself free. When my son uses my truck he always uses the tilt steering, when I get in I have to readjust it. because of this the wire connection pulled itself out. I simply pushed it back in an blinker and brake light are now working. My husband is now trying to figure a way to secure the wire connection so it doesn't pull itself out again. Hope this helps others, either by saving the cost of a dealership or machanic or from getting rear ended.

SOURCE: Blows fuses when parking lights are turned on. Headlights work fine even running lights.

If it only happens when you turn the switchto the parking lights then it is most likely the swich that is the problem. Light swich failure appears to be a common fault with fords

Lt. headlight low beam wont work after replacing the bulb.

I assume it didn't work before you changed the bulb either. You'll have to check for voltage at the bulb socket when the low beam headlights are turned on. If there is none you'll have to trace the wire back to where it splits from the right low beam headlight. If there is voltage there you have a problem with the new bulb.

check that you have brake lights. fords are well known for wire to brake light switch breaking, repair wiring if broke. replace brake light switch if not working brake lights and wire ok and fuses ok. recommend checking with test light before replacing. just ground test light clip, touch 1 side of switch and should light up tester, other wire should light up only when applying brakes. if this doesnt solve issue, seek professional help via electrical repair shop or ect...
