Help! No parking/running lights (long)

Hi guys...I have a problem I hope you can help me with.
A few days ago I was leaving work and noticed that I didn't have a guage lights.....I found out later that I didn't have and running lights either. So went I got home I checked the lights. My turn signals and hazards (front and back), brake lights all work, I just don't have any running lights. I tried replacing the headlamp switch, but that didn't fix the problem, all the fuses look ok....none of them are blown. Any ideas??? I'd be grateful for any leads......thanks

^^^...experiencing the same problem, here; when my Formula is warmed up, it'll blow fuses one after another, but if I don't drive it for a day, and replace the fuse, they work for a while, then blow. Anybody???

i had this problem the past few days and figured it out yesterday. i also had no gauge lights, shifter light, and parking lights, but the turn signals and hazards worked. i checked like the turn/signal fuses and hazard fuses, and asked a guy who know about cars what it could be. he said it could be a bad switch. so i went to the auto parts store and told the the situation, and he they gaurenteed me that it was a fuse. i told him i checked those fuses, and he said check the tailight fuse. surely enough, it was blown. put a new one in, and my parking lights came back. maybe that could be it. i had the same problems you had. good luck.
