the first step is to see if you have power on both sides of the circut breaker with lights turned on.

Next would be checking the connections (including the plate that is built into the wiring harness) at the switch at the bottom of the steering column. The switch itself could be worn out. Same switch from Model A to 39.

Also check your dimmer switch, just rewired a ‘40 that had a bad dimmer switch which shutoff the lights.

svm99, if the 39 in question is still stock, the dimmer is built into the headlight switch, not a separate switch like on 40s and up. But if it does have a separate dimmer that you step on, by all means check it.

Both 39 standard and deluxe cars have a separate dimmer switch on the floor. PHIL

Can't help you with your Wiring problem, but thought that you like to see this Cover Photo of a 1939 Ford Deluxe Station Wagon from the Original Sales Brochure.

You MIGHT want to check with a more-knowledgeable expert on that info! DD

Here's that nice ol' 39 that Kubarth did about four or five years ago.

For the first time, Ford offered the 1939 Ford Station Wagons in both Standard and Deluxe models.

The '38 headlight/parking light switch was on the steering wheel with the dimmer switch on the floor.

Absolutely correct.
