Son's 1998 Taurus started having some strange light problems. The dash lights and the tail lights both stopped working at the same time. Bulbs and fuses are OK, and there doesn't seem to be a common relay for those two circuits, so I was wondering if this car has a "Body Control Module" or something like that. I had a Chrysler minivan that had similar problems and I finally traced the problem to a "computer" behind the kick panel beside the gas pedal. There was a burned connection in a multi-wire connector, and it was causing odd electrical and light problems. I've tried looking in the various manuals for something like that in the Taurus with no luck. Clues?
