Hi
On the Ford the circuit breaker for the lights is built in to the switch
assembly. Replacement of Ford light switches is common for the reasons
you stated. On the CUCV series the circuit breaker is in the panel on
the firewall and is marginal in design. The contacts age and heat up
causing problems. Same problem as the Ford except the breaker is
located in a different place.

I don't know if this will help; I once had a Ford F350 that did the same
thing. The lights would all completely shut down and then come back
after a few minutes. Problem was a burned up light switch that would
get very hot and then fail. The truck had a utility body on it w/ lots
of marker lights that added to the amp draw thru the switch. A
replacement switch saved the day.
