Check that fuses are actually good, check grounds, bulbs. Do none of the interior lights work? Do all exterior lights work? Need more info please.

The only "Good" wiring handbook I have found is the original Ford Body and Electrical manual which is Vol-2 of the Engine manual. It gives the wire color codes. I have wasted some good money on some that just shows wires like an aerial view of NYC! If all exterior lights work then I suspect that you have a grounding problem and/or bad bulbs. Trouble shooting electrical is tedious work so Good Luck.
