After my accident (see the DEER SUCK! thread) Ive had some lighting related issues. As of right now i cant seem to get any parking lights (front/side/rear) to work on the drivers side of my car. The turn signal works but not the parking lights (or if you flip to headlights the lights dont work then either). I didnt think the fuses were for each side, any suggestions?

Is it possible the main ground bundle behind the headlight bucket came loose?

You thought wrong. The exterior lights are fused seperately - I seem to recall about almost a dozen fuses assigned. Each side, each filament in the headlights, front and back - Porsche went crazy on lighting fuses. So better check all the fuses out.

Didn't you have a deer strike that crunched the front lighting? What can happen is the little posts that hold the bulb filaments get crunched together creating a short and poof goes the fuse as I think they are all only 7.5 amps.

Well actually i avoided the deer and got a part of a tree instead. hah. Thanks, ill go check my fuses out after dinner.

Yep, fuse #40 is blown. Unfortunetly two cold and dark to find the short right now, guess ill get up early before class and try to find it.
