I took out the inner wheel wells weeks ago and I finally got around to getting them back in. Getting them in required that I take the Grille, and Headlight assembly to get the front bumper cover off. Make sense? Days after I got it all back together I noticed that the parking lights arn't comeing on when I turn them on. I checked the bulbs and they seem to be ok. They work when I use my indicatior just dunno why they wont come on when I turn them on. I havn't checked the fuse as I don't know what one.

Thoughts?

Do your parking lights in the rear come on? Have you checked for any blown fuses? (they're listed in your owners manual, and also inside the fuse block cover panels)

When I took the Video the taillights were removed. I'm working on the rear bumper so thats why they arn't there. I have no clue what fuse, I checked the rear Fuse box cover and it says 30 for park lt Can't figure out which one though. With the Taillights in that only fixed the hyper flashin. They still wont come on. I'm thinking its the fuse, not the lights for obvious reasons.

What I just read on TV Same issue but even if I move the light dial all the way to the right the parking lights arn't comeing on :hissyfit:

Talking to my dad he suggested that it might be a 2 way bulb?

A yes/no would be good enough. If they aren't, then I'd suspect your parking light relay has gone bad. Not sure if any of the others in the fuse block are the same, that you could swap with it though.

The top bulbs light up on the Tail Lights when I turn the parking lights on. This help?

Absolutely. The switch, relay, and bcm control were all ruled out with that one answer. So I would check the F-Park fuse in the rear fuse block next.

F-Park would be Front Parking Lights Fuse 37?

Did you check the fuse by eye sight, or with a meter/fuse tester? The front parking lights ARE 2 filament bulbs, that's why the turn signals work, while the parking lights don't.

That's not always a reliable way to go. Do you have a meter, or access to one? You're going to need it for troubleshooting purposes. You'll need to check some of the different parking light fuse sockets to see which one(s) is not getting a signal when the lights are on, to better determine where the problem is.
