I have a 2000 Mountaineer. The front parking lamps are missing along with the bulbs. Does anyone know what exact bulb is needed to replace these? Many thanks

the parking lights in the back are not working? i would check for a pinched wire or bare wire on the front lights, did they replace the bulbs when they did the repairs? the front and rear parking lights are on the same fuse.

Remove the front fender liner to gain access to the front side marker lamp. Remove 3 screws from park lamp and pull out lamp. Twist the bulb socket and pull inward to replace the bulb...Here is a picture of it....Hope this helped you ?

1. Open the hood.

2. Remove the front turn signal/parking lamp
assembly. See Front Turn Signal, Sidemarker and
Parking Lamps on page 5-46.

3. Pull the assembly away from the vehicle.

4. Unscrew the black retainer ring that holds the bulb
assembly in place.

5. Pull the bulb assembly straight up from the
lamp housing.

6. Unhook the electrical connector by lifting up the
blue tabs and pulling the bulb out.

7. Install the new bulb through the black retainer ring
and into the electrical connector.

8. Tighten the black retainer ring in place. Push the
bulb firmly enough so that the blue tabs hook over
the tab on the bulb.

9. Carefully put the bulb assembly back into the lamp
housing. Be careful not to damage the bulb on the
headlamp aiming bar.


Same guide is here in the manual along with pictures.

There are several things that could be the problem, but first, I would have to know EXACTLY what IS working and what IS NOT working to isolate the problem.
1. Is it just your rear park (or running) lamps not working? One side? or Both sides? (they have separate fuses.)
2. Are the FRONT park lamps working? (Again, separate fuse, but powered by the same MAIN feed.)
3. Are your Brake and Turn signals working? One side? Both sides? Front AND Rear for turn signals?
4. Have you tried changing bulbs already? (It IS possible to have two blown bulbs at the same time)

Get back to me with this information and I will try to isolate the possibilities for you.

Please don't forget to rate....thanks!

Exploded view of the rear light assembly used on the Explorer/Mountaineer models

The Explorer/Mountaineer models only use two upper lens retaining screws, the bottom use barbed push pins

1. Remove the 2 (Explorer/Mountaineer models) or 4 (Ranger models) screws retaining the lamp assembly to the vehicle.
   
2. Remove the lamp assembly from the vehicle by pulling it outward. On the Explorer/Mountaineer models, make sure the 2 barbed retainers at the bottom of the assembly release.
   

Pull the lens assembly out from the vehicle body to access the bulb sockets

Grasp the bulb socket then twist and pull it out of the lens assembly

Remove the bulb from the socket by pulling it straight out

1. Remove the lamp sockets from the lens housing by twisting it, then pulling outward.
   
2. Remove the bulb from the socket by pulling it straight outward.
   

To install:

1. Install the bulb into the lamp socket.
   
2. Install the lamp socket to the lens and twist it to lock it in position.
   
3. Position the lens assembly to the body. On Explorer/Mountaineer models, ensure that the barbed retainers are aligned with their mounting clips, and press the assembly until fully seated.
   
4. Install the lens assembly retaining screws (four screws used on the Ranger and 2 on the Explorer/Mountaineer).
   
5. Check the operation of the lights.

Exactly what it says. the lamp in your front turn indicator is not working - check replace bulb.

You either have a 'single filament' bulb installed in a 'dual filament' brake lamp socket ... OR .. you have a 'dual filament' bulb short circuited internally. Check your rear brake lamp bulbs (supposed to be 'dual filament' - two contacts on their bottoms). When you step on the brake pedal, do your dash lights LIGHT UP? A 'cross circuit' exists between brake lamp circuit and parking lamps circuit.

i think the lamp cover just pops off. not sure though. assume you mean puddle lamp
