heres whats going on.

1. parking light fuse blows when you turn the parking lights on.

2. parking light fuse does not blow if you turn the dimmer switch all the way down with no dash lights on.

3. turn it up and it blows sometimes along with the gauge light 5 amp fuse.

this is what i noticed on the outside.
turn the left turn signal on and it stays constant in the dash.

with the parking lights on when you turn on the left turn signal the left marker light goes out instead of flashing.

the rear left turn signal never comes on.

i replaced all bulbs still the same.

i replaced the dimmer switch still the same.

i cannot find anything like a remote dimmer switch i dont believe i have one.

what else should i check?

I had the same problem. Ended up being a bad Fusible (sp) link down by the starter.

A fuse-able link will kill more than just a light or two and if a fuse-able link is burned, any fuses hooked to that wire can't blow. Have you done any mods recently? Like a stereo install--I would hate to count the amount of times I've seen the 'dash dimming' wire that goes to the stereo hooked up to an aftermarket stereo(using it as a ground or otherwise). When the dash lights get turned on, poof goes the fuses. Or it could be that dimmer wire is unhooked and touching a ground at some point. Or you could have a bad dash bulb. Isn't wiring fun.

its not the stereo since i have taken it out and no wires are touching ground.

could a bad dash light bulb cause this to happen?
