Hi, Where should I start? The instrument panel lights went out at the end of August. I have replaced the fuse TWICE, but it still blows. The mechanic at the dealership wasn't much help and told me about a "switch", but again, it wasn't much help because he would not tell me where, how, etc. The headlights, tail lights, blinkers and dome lights still work, just the instrument panel lights. Also, I recently discovered that my back-up lights are now out. The bulbs are not burnt out, and the fuses are fine. Has anyone else ever had a problem like that? Is it common with Contours? HELP!!
