Running light woes.....

puckwhore · 07-09-2008, 08:27 PM

For some reason only known to someone smarter than I am, my parking lights went out the other day. I've checked all fuses, relays, replaced the switch but I still have nothing. Headlights, signals and brake lights work fine. Oh, the parking lights will light up if i lock it with the remote. Any suggestion? Thanks for any help beforehand.

Change the bulb, it has two filaments.One for the parking lights and the other for turn signal. Part #3157NA at most auto stores.

All the bulbs are good. I should have mentioned that all exterior lights( clearance lights, bed markers, tag lights) are dead. Only my headlights, foglights working and the brake light but its seprate wiring from the light switch.

Thanks for the input! This is the best place to come to for advise.

Nope....I only have the one under the hood. I've heard the the fcm( front control module) could be going bad. Now my hvac and some of my radio lights went out and it wont read cd's.Anywho, 1.5" wheel spacers are on the way. New tires are touching at the bottom.
