My tail lights and reverse
If all the brake lights won't work, try checking the fuse for the brake lights. If it's still good, try replacing the bulbs, sometimes they go out one by one and we don't notice it until they're all out. Those are the most common problems.

Not getting any spark on
The most likely problem in your car is the pick-up coil in the distributor.You need to take off the distributor cap and then remove the rotor button and then the plate under it.Now you need to remove the the reluctor wheel and then the ignition module(a 5.5 mm socket ground down some to fit or the proper tool from ford),then the pick-up will come out.Testing it is almost impossible but it is an item that has a high failure rate so i would start there.l

Check all fuses first. If you have done that, make sure to carefully check all wires that lead to your coil and distributor for bad connections and corrosion (blue powder on wires) clean and replace as needed. There is also usually an ignition module on or near the distributor. This could also be the problem if it wasn't replaced.

Shifter is loose. Bolt
when this happend to me i still had all gears. there is no pin or bolt, the shifter is held in place with epoxy and pressure.. its ****, total ****. i suggest looking at the pdf service manuals on www.techcapri.com and re-building the area that holds the shifter in place. this involves removing the shifter head and leather-ish boot around it (may as well clean it while you've got it off) and then pulling the shifter up into place. then from the underside of the car, inserting some epoxy and or reinforcement brackets (to make it stronger than it originally was) to hold it in place. i used two pieces of 1/8th thick aluminium underneath the little tabs that were originaly glued/pressured into place.
please note the manuals on techcapri are for the 91-93 modles our 94 modle is slightly different, but the manual is still very helpful for identifying parts and how to get at them.
Pasenger side head light will
perhaps something is obstruting it. Can you open manually? IF so, open, look at it closely and start with wd to loosen some of the mechanism. then, with assistance, have someone turn on lights and you can feel the motion and try to isolate it. If the motor is working, something else is stopping it from opening. Also, motors make noise sometimes, even when they aren't working correctly. Let's see where that takes you.
This is a 1991 convertible.
There are two fuses for the lights one is under the hood and one is under the dash try both of those. THERE IS ALSO A MANUAL WAY OF RAISING THEM TURN THE LITTLE KNOBS BEHIND THE LIGHT WHEN YOU OPEN THE HOOD. There is a large plug in under the lights the passange side is easy to see the other side is a little hardier. Make sure they are plugged in an no corroision on the terminals . I have a 91' conv also had the same problem. I have a problem with mine i keep throwing the altenator belt off can't figure it out is there a spacier between the bracket and altenator?
