Please help! parking light problems

none of my parking lights go on, including the interior gauge lights, now the flasher works, hazard works, and head light works, but the parking lights (front & back) wont turn on. but the head lights do when i turn on the switch. I checked all the fuses- it's good,
I'm thinking it could be the switch itself, but it's fairly new. (couple of months)

HELP !?

The "TAIL" fuse is what supplies power to the parking light and the gauge lights when the **** is pulled out. You will also loose your tail lights, side marker lights, and license plate lights. The hazards will still work because they are on a seperate circuit and the parking lights are dual element just like the headlights. The side marker lights are a part of the parking lights and turn signal light circuit and will work with the turn signals even if the parking light circuit is out.

oh yay ! never mind, I went outside on my lunhc from work and decided to just change every damn fuse, and now it works. hehe
no idea what fuse though, i'll have to check that out later.

oh and i noticed one spot it sais "20" put there was a 25 fuse in there, :S is that bad? I still kept an 25 in there cause that's how it was originaly....
anyone know a site for the fuse box diagram? I can't read what it says on mine anymore.

thanks
