Right front parking and side marker lights dont come on, but the blinkers do
I haven't been able to figure out why my parking light and side marker lights on the right front of my Camaro wont come on but when I turn my signals on they blink fine. Is there a ground some place that I am not finding. I checked the ground wires on the radiator support and they are clean bare metal after I painted my engine compartment.

Change the bulb I know the front blinker had a high and low outage in it and two wires in there try swapping with the other sides bulb and see if it works

You have a bad connection from the left marker lights
brown wire to the right markers.
The bad connection can be a broken wire or at the lamp socket itself.

Blown bulb and maybe a little corrosion on the side marker light terminals. Just went through this with one of my cars that has been sitting for 10yrs.

I changed the right socket out because the ground wire was pulled out of the socket and rotted. That got the turn signals to work. Should I change the left socket too? I also changed both bulbs.

Re: Right front parking and side marker lights dont come on, but the blinkers do
I got it fixed. I spliced a new brown wire from the left light over to the right brown wire and both the front and side markers work. My temporary fix until I can dig deeper and really fix the problem. Thanks for your help NINA.
