Default Light prob, on Mk6 escort

My uncle has a standerd Mk6 5dr escort encore, as he was driving tonight
he noteced he had his fog light on (after 50 people had flashed him )

when he switched it off he noteced the dash lights went off, he thought nothing off it till he got to my dads, when my dad pointed out that the rear lights were not working?

they had a quick look and decided to give me a ring, so i poped over to see if i could replace the fuse, but all fuses seemed to be ok,
the car now has no side lights front or back, nor the numberplate light, and the dash lights are not working, the switch for the fog lamp is lit, but will not operate the fog lamp at all.

can anyone help him please

I had this problem too pal on mine, i had rear lights but no dash or headlights

Its the light switch on the indicator stalk, If you give the end that you turn a good pull then it will eventually pop the end off, clean the contacts up and put it back together if thats doesnt work then get to the scrappers
