parking lights dont work

Hello all I have just finaly got the 350 in and running not 100% done thou. I have a problem the 350 i put in dose not require the computer so that is gone and out of the even thou i think that is not the problem. I have turn signal, brake , reverse, and head lights but no parking lights. All the lights that have a ground wire are grounded out. and do not have the ground stap connected to the motor yet not sure if that is it or not since all the other lights work. my lights come on inside when i open the door but no dash either since that is part of the parking lights. any input would be great.

Check the TAIL FUSE.

If it’s good check for 12 volts at the PULL-FOR-ON headlight switch.

Input is terminal F (orange wire), output is terminal E (brown wire).

If you have 12 volts in but no voltage out when the switch is in the pulled out position replace the switch.


Happy Racing!

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!

ok i think i found that it is my switch. I took it apart to where all the contacts inside are showing and pushed them down and the only thing that works is the headlights still. I also took a piece of wire put it on the hot pulg and put it in the parking light conector and they work. so i just got to find a headlight switch dont think auto zone has them.

I have them in stock. It's a direct replacement for your original.

well i went to napa. dumb move in the first place but i was desprite. anyway it turns out to not be the switch. I was not sure you where talking about the orange wire in the back of the clip. (just checked for a hot wire) anyway where does that orange wire on the top of the clip come from cause it is dead. thanks nina. oh and get this drive side headlight motor dead and the blue wire that goes to it is also dead. but the passenger side works great. already checked the 2nd blue wire coming out of the relay has no power. are all three relays the same cause i have a brand new one laying around
