dashboard lights and rear exterior lights not working

[wjskn02]

I have a 1997 Ford Ka, Last week the dashboard lights stopped working and although the brake lights, reversing light and fog lights are all working the tail lights are not. The side lights and dipped beam work fine.

I replaced the rear bulbs for tail/stop but still no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for reading

Hi can any one help, I have a similar problem but with my 98 fiesta, the dash lights are not working or the tail lights but the fog, brake reverse and indicators are. I have tried replacing both dash and tails but no luck?

I had the same problem. It turned out to be the sidelight switch and had to be replaced.
