2000 Ford Windstar Exterior lighting Problems

“I have a 2001 Ford Windstar and the fuse #10 kept blowing and the A/C, speedometer, odometer, etc.. Stopped working. After researching on internet I found the culprit was a leaky brake pressure deactivation switch, which once I disconnected it the fuse stopped tripping and the AC and dashboard worked.

I want an answer from Ford about this. …”

“My minivan has started acting strange with lights flickering inside and on the dash board. I am also having problems with the brake lights not being on from time to time and the headlights having gone out. I only found this out when turning onto a dark street with no street lights one night coming home and saw no lights from my vehicle and only darkness.
