Exclamation Head light, parking light and tail/brake lights all out at same time

Hi all, new to the forums.

Any idea why my driver-side headlamp (hi-beam doesn't work either), passenger front parking lamp/blinker, passenger brake lamp would all stop working at the exact same time?

One of the three (the left-most) bulbs in the passenger tail light is still working, but everything above stopped working all at the same time. Replacement bulbs didn't help.

It's in the Ford shop and they're scratching their heads now, too. Any ideas?

If Ford's monkeys.... I mean, "experts"... are having difficulties figuring it out and are using the wiring diagrams (http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=1), then I hate to suggest that your car is suffering from the water leak, discussed in one of the TSB's. The water leak has plagued the 05's thru some '07's and even a few later S197's. If the dealer isn't familiar with it, kick his nutz and find another dealer that doesn't have his head up his azz.

Could he kick the monkey even if they know about the water leak? That would be my suggestion. I never met a monkey that didn't need a swift kick...

Check the pass side carpet for signs of mold.
Then search 'water leak' here on the forum.
Then go tell Ford to replace your SmartJunctionBox
located on the pass side kickpanel.
