Default No running Lights?

Ok, my friend and I just got his v8 fc (5.0 carbed t5) running a few days ago. We got the hood to shut with no air cleaner(flat hood) with no problems.

We went to take it for a cruse at night and realised the running lights don't work. And no lisense plate light. The headlights pop up and turn on. The turn signals work. The hazzard lights work.

We cut no wires in the Driver side. But cut out almost all wires on pass side. And unhooked the Computer and pulled fuse(hook back up to double check). I checked all bulbs and fuses.

Does anyone got a picture of there fuse box cover in the driver side kick panel?

This website has been a really big help. This should be the last problem we have with this car. Any help would be great.

------------------------------
p.s. In chicago if you get more the 3 tickets you go to jail. With no cat, loud exhust, no running lights, no lisense plate light, mostlikly speeding and reckless driving(drifting). We are for sure to go to jail and get his car inpounded.

Is your issue with Brake lights like the title says or tail lights?

Brake lights are on the same curcuit as the horn. Check it..

sorry, im tired from looking on fourms all day and from problem solving in the cold.

Its the running lights and lisense plate lights.

Can someone tell me the fuse for them. I think there on the same fuse.
We got no fuse box cover. Is there a relay?

What about the head light switch? Can that be half broken?

So do your side marker lights work? They should be on the same system.

Running lights work now after re-soldering the head light switch.

Cause: Broken connections and melted solder was my problem.

When I go to the junk yard im going to pick up a few of these, they go for a good amount on ebay.
